express CR_LF

[Former Member]

What is the right expression for line feed .

Below command is not correctly. How can I express

line feed CR_LF .

REPALCE ALL OCCURENCES OF '#' WITH CR_LF

IN s_test .

I intend to replace

data s_test type string.

s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.

'#' means may be horizontal tab or New Line.

REPALCE ALL OCCURENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB WITH CR_LF 
IN s_test .

REPALCE ALL OCCURENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEW_LINE WITH CR_LF 
IN s_test .

[Former Member]

Vijay Babu Dudla thank you.

But I get the message-> WITH CR_LF is not expected

at the simple coding below.

REPORT ZTEST19.

data hg type string.
hg = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.


*REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB 
*WITH CR_LF IN s_test .
 
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEW_LINE WITH CR_LF 
IN s_test .

[Former Member]

Try using CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

data s_test type string.

s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.

REPALCE ALL OCCURENCES OF '#' WITH CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

IN s_test .

Regards,

Joy.

I am sooryy but I get also here the same message

WITH CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

is ot expected

I am using release SAP ECC 6.0

What is wrong

[Former Member]

Hi,

Try this:

data s_test type string.

s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN s_test WITH CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

in character mode.

Regards,

Joy.

[ThomasZloch]

you have to turn the WITH and IN operators around, then it should work.

>REPLACE ... OF ... IN ... WITH ...

[Former Member]

Hi freineds

thank you all. The syntax problem is solved

but result is NOT OK.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN s_test WITH CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

write: s_test.

result:

afafdfd##retretertre##vmnmnmnmmnbnm##

Hi,

have you declared the class thus?

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Classes                                                              *
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

* direct definition of CR, LF etc. Alternatively use HLP_CR, HLP_LF etc.
* to fill the separators in payment files!
class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.

Best regards.

[Former Member]

hi pablo casamayor thank you very much for your kindly hint reagrding the class.

Can you please explain me that more detailed.

Regards

sas

[former_member182371]

Hi,

in your development after the TABLES declaration do:

e.g.

• This is the tables declaration

TABLES: spfli.

• This is the class declaration

class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.

Best regards.

[Former Member]

pablo casamayor this is not what I am asking for.

Is it necessary to implement the class although

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES is a SAP class.

If so can you please describe or show how must it

impelmented and overwrited ?

Regards

sas

[Former Member]

Not Necessarily. you can do it this way as well.

REPORT  ztest.
TYPE-POOLs: abap.
CONSTANTS: horizontal_tab TYPE  abap_char1  VALUE %_HORIZONTAL_TAB,
           cr_lf          TYPE  abap_cr_lf  VALUE  %_CR_LF.

DATA s_test TYPE string.
s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF horizontal_tab IN s_test WITH cr_lf.

Hope this Helps.

Hi,

go to transaction SE24 and see if class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES exists.

If it does exist then it´s only necessary to declare the class.

By the way, what´s your SAP System version?

Best regards.

[Former Member]

I am using release SAP ECC 6.0.

Yes this class is existing but I dont understand what you mean

exactly.

Pablo to sum up:

I need a way on how to replace # with new line

or line feed.

I have the following command but it returns not the

correctly result.

data s_test type string.
s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN s_test WITH CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.
write: s_test.

result:

afafdfd##retretertre##vmnmnmnmmnbnm##

[former_member182371]

Hi,

have a look at this:

http://www.sap-img.com/abap/string-handling-in-abap-removing-unwanted-char.htm

This is another option:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c924b874-0a01-0010-9192-b31f007a...

e.g.

l_input = '12345678'. l_regex = '([0-9])(?=([0-9]{3})+(?![0-9]))'. l_new = '$1.'. 
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX l_regex IN l_input WITH l_new.
This will insert a thousandu2019s separator

Best regards.

Hi,

try something like:

report ztest.

data s_test(255) type c.
data : ln type i.
data : pos type i.

s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.

ln = strlen( s_text ).

do ln times.
pos = sy-index - 1 .

if s_text+pos(1) = '#'.
 s_text+pos(1) = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.
endif.


enddo.


write 😕 s_test.

Best regards.

I think CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF have a value # then in that case why you are replacing the # with #

For testing this try to change all "a" in the string with cr_lf.

data s_test type string.
s_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'a' IN s_test WITH CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.
write: s_test.

thanks a lot of this clarification. Is it really true

that # is line feed.

If so how can I remove # and anyhow linefeeds.

The Requirement is to remove cross hatch without

deleting the linefeeds. Because if you have e.g. such

a text:

Radovan Karadzic trying to submit a letter##to the war crimes tribunal alleging u201Cirregularitiesu201D in his##treatment. The text reads u201CWould the registrar##please take this?u201D

It is not looking nice. Is there no way solve this problem

[former_member194669]

As for as i know we could not differentiate the cross hash and line feed.

May be try to remove all # with space and split the string into multiple chunks

report  zars.
data s_test type string.
constants : c_ash(2) type c value '##'.
s_test = 'Radovan Karadzic trying to submit a letter##to the war crimes tribunal alleging #irregularities# in his##treatment. The text reads #Would the registrar##please take this?#'.
replace all occurrences of c_ash in s_test with space.
write: s_test.

But then also your requirement will not fulfilled

pablo casamayor thanks but at your above given example

I get the same result as privous.

output is
afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#

nothing is replaced

[Former Member]

Is it possible to do the foolowing:

Remove at first # and insert exactly there one linefeed.

Thus it is realized to not display ## and having also

linefeed. Can please illustriate that adjustment as

abap code ?

I'm arriving late into this thread, but the # character you see could be one of several unprintable characters - SAP just prints the # to show this situation... (you can look in debug to see the actual hex value of the #)

One solution to the original question could be to do something like (not syntax checked):

data:
  l_delimit(1)     type c,
  l_line(100)      type c,
  lt_line          like l_line,
  l_test           type string.

l_delimit = '#'.  "or set to CR-LF or whatever your # is 
l_test = 'afafdfd#retretertre#vmnmnmnmmnbnm#'.

split l_test at l_delimit into table lt_line.
loop at lt_line into l_line.
  write: / l_line.
endloop.

which should give something like

afafdfd
retretertre
vmnmnmnmmnbnm

... or did I miss the point of the question?

Hi Erdem,

Note:

The CR/LF characters cannot be displayed on ABAP lists or screens.

Check this sample code,

*------------------------------------------------------------------*
CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.

TYPES:
  BEGIN OF type_itab,
    w_char(100) TYPE C,
  END OF type_itab.

DATA:
  itab  TYPE TABLE OF type_itab WITH HEADER LINE.

itab = 'SIMPLE#TEST##EXAMPLE'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN itab WITH
cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.

APPEND itab.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
   filename        = 'd	emp	est.txt'
   filetype        = 'ASC'
  TABLES
    data_tab       = itab.
*Result:----------------------------------------------------------*
*       SIMPLE
*       TEST
*
*       EXAMPLE
*-----------------------------------------------------------------*
