Reg: Replacement of second occurance of character in string

[Former Member]

Hi,

Consider one string1 = 'ABCDAE' OR string2 = 'SHEETAL'.

I want to replace the second occurance of A in above string1.and second occurance of E in above string2 with any differnt character.

I tried with offset calculation , length , replace , split stmts.

but always first occurance is getting replace.

Please provide your ideas.

Hi,

Try this.

data: string1 type char10 value 'ABCDAE',
        len     type i.

  write: / string1.
  search string1 for 'A'.

  if sy-subrc = 0.
    add 1 to sy-fdpos.
    len = strlen( string1 ) - sy-fdpos.
    replace 'A' in string1+sy-fdpos(len) with '!'.
    write: / string1.
  endif.
