Delete Spaces

Hello,
I have an info object F1which is being loaded from Data Source to DSO.
Length of this object in source is 22 and in DSO it is 10 as per business requirement and cannot be changed.
This field is coming from Source flat file and the in this file the format is (16) spaces followed by the 6 digit value.
The type of this object is Char in DSO.
Since the DSO is length 10 we get this field as empty spaces.
I want to remove these spaces from Data Source so that i get the value.
Please suggest what to do and if routine please suggest full routine and where.
Regards

Hello,
you can use a start routine in update rules (or transformation):
I suppose you have all 22 chars in F2.
LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
SHIFT DATA_PACKAGE-F2 LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.
DATA_PACKAGE-F1 = DATA_PACKAGE-F2.
MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.

Delete spaces on the right of a string of characters

Hi,
I'd like to know how to delete space on the right of a string of characters and ONLY the ones on the right in order I can get the real length of the string (I don't want to condense the spaces between words even though there's more than one).
data: text(20).
text = 'SAP Forum'
In this case, if I use both DESCRIBE LENGTH and DESCRIBE OUTPUT LENGTH, the result will be 20, but the real length is 9.

Use STRLEN( ), as described by the other posters.
To delete space chars on the right of a string, use following static method:
CALL METHOD cl_abap_string_utilities=>del_trailing_blanks
CHANGING
str = lv_text.

Delete space from para style name

Hi All,
There are some space character at the end of my paragraph style naming.
How can we delete [space] only from at the end of the paragraph style name? I don't want to delete [space] if it is coming between paragraph style naming.
Please provide the js code.
Thanks,
Tansk

Please provide the js code.
Oh sure, you are in a hurry, right?
Can you not call upon the scripting forum for every menial task? Please? In these six hours you were twiddling your thumbs and nervously checking the forum every five minutes or so, you could have done this by hand.
Oh whatever:
for (p=2; p<app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.length; p++)
app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[p].name = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[p].name.replace(/\s+$/,'');

Certain keys don't work-delete, space bar, caps lock, quotes-apostrophe key

Certain keys don't work on the built-in keyboard: delete, space bar, caps lock, quotes-apostrophe key...I have to use the "keyboard viewer" to use these particular keys. My adapter is connected to the computer, but the problem persists.
Can anyone please suggest troubleshooting for this annoying problem? It has been like this for about 2 weeks now.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Does anything happen when you hit these keys?
Try this:
In System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse, click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, then the "restore defaults" button.

How to delete space in an internal table

Hi All,
In internal table I want to compress the leading space
After searching I found Condense and SHIFT LEFT DELETE leading space commands work it is written...
but when I write code A single space is appreaing in between the two fields...can any body help me where I am going wrong??
Ex:
data: begin of itab occurs 1 ,
PSAtext TYPE CHAR15,
psa type btrtl,
end of itab.
now o/p BEFORE CHANGE IS :
SBI-CT |1023
After condense is SBI-CT |1023
bETWEEN SBI-CT AND | there is a additional space. How can we avoid that?
Sas
Edited by: saslove sap on Sep 29, 2010 7:43 AM

Well this is what I am going to solve this
data:begin of STRING OCCURS 1 ,
S1 TYPE STRING,
END OF STRING.
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-f1 itab-f2 into string-s1 seperated by '|'.
append string.
end of itab.
then I can transfer this string to Application server.
Thanks for all the contributions.

Delete spaces in internal table

Hi this question is to improve my performance...
what is the performance oriented way of delete entires in internal table where any of the field is empty.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
A B C D E F G "<< ok
A B C E F G "<< delete
A B C E G "<< delete
or
loop at itab.
if itab-f1 eq space or itab-f2 eq space.....
delete itab.
endif.
endloop. " how to eliminate this loop...?

Try this way
delete itab where f1 eq space
 or f2 eq space
 or f7 eq space.

Deleting word deletes space before it as well

I don't know if this has always been the case, but I've only just started to notice it and it is frustrating the **** out of me.
In pages on the iphone and iPad, if I delete all the letters in the word, the space before the word automatically gets deleted as well.
Try it.
I just went to the apple store and it's happening on their ipads as well.
I type for a living and cannot tell you how many thousands of times today I had to go back and correct words that had no space between them.
Did someone really think that when I press delete once what I actually want is to delete twice?!
So, anyone know if there's a way around this issue? I'm wondering if it came in with ios 7? Interestingly it's only pages, not happening on notes or email etc.

For tips on how to get around it go here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23253948?ac_cid=tw123456#23253948
Either type with an X in front of where you're typing, or turn on tracking and set to "final" in settings.
Best we have for now!

Bug: pressing backspace to delete a word in Pages for iOS automatically deletes space before word

Hi guys,
When I delete a word in Pages for iOS 7 character-by-character, the deletion automatically includes the space before the word, even if I don't initiate a keypress for that space. This is sporadic in that it consistently occurs in some sections of text (usually at the end of lines) and not in others, in paragraphs with custom Styles and in paragraphs with default Styles alike.
If the bug happened consistently, I could probably by habit overcome this extra deletion. However, since it does not happen in every circumstance, it's unpredictable and as such very disruptive to my workflow.
This occurs in new documents with no formatting. I've also tried Resetting All Settings, restoring the app through the Settings menu, and deleting and re-downloading the app from the App Store. It occurs both when I use my Bluetooth wireless keyboard (Logitech) and when I use the iPad Mini's OS keyboard.
I really don't want to restore my entire iPad just to fix this problem, as I think it's an app-based bug (the problem does not happen at all in any other text app).
This Pages version is 1.7.2, and I'm using iOS 7.0.2 on an iPad Mini WiFi only.
Could anyone with a similar setup try this out? I can't be the only one...right?

I am experiencing this as well. In another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5374836) it appears someone contacted support about it and was told this is expected behavior.
For me, this will cause me to stop using Pages. It's extremely aggravating.

Deleting Space - Internal Table

Hi All,
I wish to know how to delete the leading / trailing spaces in Internal Table's field & bolding the field name in Report Output.
Ex: In report output - when i output BSID-WRBTR via an Internal table how to delete the blank spaces.
I appreciate ur time.
Regards
Tina

hi Tina,
 Use Condense Statement
i.e,
The CONDENSE statement deletes redundant spaces from a string:
CONDENSE <c> [NO-GAPS].
This statement removes any leading blanks in the field <c> and replaces other sequences of blanks by exactly one blank. The result is a left-justified sequence of words, each separated by one blank. If the addition NO-GAPS is specified, all blanks are removed.
DATA: STRING(25) VALUE ' one two three four',
LEN TYPE I.
LEN = STRLEN( STRING ).
WRITE: STRING, '!'.
WRITE: / 'Length: ', LEN.
CONDENSE STRING.
LEN = STRLEN( STRING ).
WRITE: STRING, '!'.
WRITE: / 'Length: ', LEN.
CONDENSE STRING NO-GAPS.
LEN = STRLEN( STRING ).
WRITE: STRING, '!'.
WRITE: / 'Length: ', LEN.
Output:
one two three four !
Length: 25
one two three four !
Length: 18
onetwothreefour !
Length: 15
Note that the total length of the field STRING remains unchanged, but that the deleted blanks appear again on the right.
Regards,
Santosh

 return sTtlSpace+star;
}Thanks in advance

What you are trying to do will not work - subtraction of Strings does not make any sense.
To remove spaces, I suggest you use a StringTokenizer with space as dividing token. Lop trough the tokens and add them to a new String, like this:
 public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
 String withSpace = "aaa sss bbb";
 System.out.println(removeSpaces(withSpace));
 static String removeSpaces(String withSpaces) {
 java.util.StringTokenizer t = new java.util.StringTokenizer(withSpaces, " ");
 StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer("");
 while (t.hasMoreTokens()) {
 result.append(t.nextToken());
 return result.toString();
 }This will remove all spaces, and print "aaasssbbb". If you only want to remove the first or the last space, you can use indexOf() or lastIndexOff to find the space, and then substring to pick the text before and after that space and concatenate those two strings to a new string without the space:
 static String removeFirstSpace(String withSpaces) {
 int spaceIndex = withSpaces.indexOf(' '); //use lastIndexOf to remove last space
 if (spaceIndex < 0) { //no spaces!
 return withSpaces;
 return withSpaces.substring(0, spaceIndex)
 + withSpaces.substring(spaceIndex+1, withSpaces.length());
 }

Deleting space between events in IMovie

How do you trim the space between events? I am trying to take a video that was emailed in 3 parts and put it together again and I need to just remove the spaces between the selections.

I am also puzzled by this loss of disk space when iMovie imports iPhoto for the first time. Would also like to reclaim that space back.
Here may be the solution: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9415197&#9415197
Not sure if it would work to delete the movies in the data folder in iPhoto.
