using following function:
CONCATENATE '00000000000155' ' ' into lv_string
but result is the lv_string ='00000000000155',the spaces were not added the string trail.
how to achieve this purpose padding string.
pls help me.
thank you.

Hi ,
Not sure what exactly you require, But in my understanding you need to add one more spave after the doknr no. Please refer this code which could be more useful.
data: lv_objkt like aeoi-OBJKT,
      lv_doknr like draw-doknr,
      lv_dokar like draw-dokar,
      lv_doktl like draw-doktl,
      lv_dokvr like draw-dokvr,
      lv_slen type i.
lv_dokar = 'DRW'.
lv_doknr = '00000000000155'.
lv_doktl = '000'.
lv_dokvr = '-'.
CONCATENATE lv_dokar lv_doknr INTO lv_objkt.
lv_slen = STRLEN( lv_objkt ).
lv_slen = lv_slen + 1.
lv_objkt+lv_slen(3) = lv_doktl.
CONCATENATE lv_objkt lv_dokvr INTO lv_objkt.
WRITE: lv_objkt.

How to concatenate a string with spaces

Dear experts,
I would like to concatenate a string with three spaces, for example,
CONCATENATE 'X' SPACE SPACE SPACE 'Y' INTO LV_RESULT.
However, the result I got from executing the above statement is not 'X Y' as I want, but rather 'XY'.
I did try
CONCATENATE 'X' '***' 'Y' INTO LV_RESULT.
REPLACE '***' with ' ' INTO LV_RESULT.
still doesn't work.
How can I write ABAP code to archive such a result?
Any idea would be appreciated.

dear Oliver Hütköper and koolspy,
I tried your solutions, and it works.
so i awarded points to you.
anyway, while trying the 'respecting blanks', i got an error:
"".", "IN BYTE MODE", "SEPARATED BY ..." or "IN CHARACTER MODE" expected"
not sure what it means. but it's ok. the problem has been solved.
thanks again.

Padding String with spaces -tried known methods but code not working!

I am trying to figure out an easy way to pad a string with spaces at the end. The way that definitely works is a for loop where string = string + " "; until string is the length that I need. However, for several dozen strings this is a lot of unnecessary overhead. I've done some research and tried a few different things - yet none of them seem to actually pad the string.
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
public class Test
     public static void main(String[] args)
          String one = "1234";
                //print string at current lenght
          System.out.println(one+"*");
                //try padding using String.format (in padRight method below)
          one = padRight(one,(8-one.length()));
          System.out.println(one+"*");
                one="1234";
                //try padding using StringUtils
          String tmp = StringUtils.rightPad(one, (8-one.length()));
          System.out.println(tmp+"*");
     private static String padRight(String s, int n)
          return String.format("%1$-" + n + "s", s);
}I've researched and these are the two most common methods people are suggesting. I am using java 1.5 so the String.format should work.. however, when I run it (I use JBuilder) the output is always "1234*".... after I try to pad it the output should be "1234 *" (with 4 spaces between the 4 and *) . Any suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Wow, I completely botched that... uncle_alice, thank you for clearing that up for me.
pbrockway2 - thank you, I actually did peruse the Formatter documentation - I would never post without researching something first... but I must have read it with one eye shut because walked away with the impression that I needed to submit the difference. I obviously misunderstood the documentation.
Thanks!

Pad a string with zeros ?

Hello ABAP Experts,
How to pad a string with zeros.. is there a direct method i can use.
eg:
string length is 8
string is custnumb
value is 588
but i would like to see 00000588
please suggest.

You can simply move it to a TYPE n field also.
data: n(8) type n.
data: custnumb(8) type c value '588'.
n = custnumb.
custnumb = n.

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

How to padding the zeroes and space befoer sending from XI to R3 system.

Hi Experts,
How to padding the zeroes and space befoer sending any data from XI to R3 during mapping, how to write a java code to implement this logic, please help me with the coding or any other alternative.
thanks
dhanush

to pad spaces you need to write a simple UDF
for right padding use the following
while( inputField.length() < Integer.parseInt(totalLength))
inputField = inputField + " ";
return inputField;
for left padding use the following
while( inputField.length() < Integer.parseInt(totalLength))
inputField = " " + inputField ;
return inputField;
Note:in the above examples inputField will be the input to UDF i.e. the sender field which you need to pad and send to receiver , and totalLength will be a constant i.e length of the field you want on receiver side after padding.
also i m not a Java expert so please check for syntax and semantics for code:) to me it looks correct
Thanx
Aamir

Use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it

I am trying to use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it.
(This is in a Function.)
Let's say ParmIn_Look_For has a value of 'black dog'. I want to see if
ParmIn_Search_This_String has 'black dog' anywhere in it. But it gives an error
Syntax error on command line.
If ParmIn_Look_For is just 'black' or 'dog' it works fine.
Is there some way to put single quotes/double quotes around ParmIn_Look_For so this will
look for 'black dog' ??
Also: If I want to use the option of ignoring white space, is the last parm
'ix' 'i,x' or what ?
SELECT
REGEXP_INSTR(ParmIn_Search_This_String,
'('||ParmIn_Look_For||')+', 1, 1, 0, 'i')
INTO Position_Found_In_String
FROM DUAL;
Thanks, Wayne

Maybe something like this ?
test@ORA10G>
test@ORA10G> with t as (
2    select 1 as num, 'this sentence has a black dog in it' as str from dual union all
3    select 2, 'this sentence does not' from dual union all
4    select 3, 'yet another dog that is black' from dual union all
5    select 4, 'yet another black dog' from dual union all
6    select 5, 'black dogs everywhere...' from dual union all
7    select 6, 'black dog running after me...' from dual union all
8    select 7, 'i saw a black dog' from dual)
9 --
10 select num, str
11 from t
12 where regexp_like(str,'black dog');
       NUM STR
         1 this sentence has a black dog in it
         4 yet another black dog
         5 black dogs everywhere...
         6 black dog running after me...
         7 i saw a black dog
5 rows selected.

Also, 'x' ignores whitespace characters. Link to doc:

How to create a String with a specific size?

how to create a String with a specific size?
For example I want to create different Strings with the size of 100 , 1000 or 63k byte?

String are immutable so just initialize it with the number of characters you want.
You might want to look at java.lang.StringBuffer and see if that's what you want.

Hi,
actually there's none. The UITableView class needs to "know" the tableView's height so either it can calc <number of rows> times <row height> or it has to sum the height of each single row.
If the row which needs to be of different size always is the first or the last row you can user a tableHeader or tableFoot view.

How to change wildcard "_" (underscore) to some other character ?

Hello Tech Gurus,
I want to search for "_"( underscore) in a string using LIKE function.
The query is:
Select col1,col2
from table1
where col1 LIKE ('%ABC_%');
I want to search for string 'ABC_'. But, If I use '%ABC_%' the last underscore will be taken as wildcard.
How can I change wildcard underscore to any other character.
Or is there any other way/function to search for underscore in a string.
Thank you for your time.

How do I set the number pad to work with spaces?

It has worked with other OSs but with Mavericks 10.9.5 (and from what I here, Yosemite) you can not use the number pad to change spaces. I know I can use the numbers across the top or the arrows, I just find it quicker and ergonomic to use the number pad. As many spaces I use this is very inconvenient to be reaching across the keyboard. Is there a way to fix this. I went to the preferences but could not find anything there to change. Maybe Apple could fix this in there next update.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to split a string with linefeed character ( LF ) as a delimiter in VB6?

Hi. I am writing a small program in VB 6.0.
I have a string named Data and it contains few characters along with <LF> in it. ( <LF> is a new line/line feed character).
I want to split this string with <LF> as delimiter and store the tokens in an array. I tried with split function and its giving me type mismatch error. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
I am giving the pseudo-code below.
Dim Data as string
Data = "hello, how are you<LS>good morning guys <LS> hi"
Dim strarray() as stringMsgbox(Data)
strarray = split(Data, "<LS>")
When i see the Data in message box before split function, it shows up in different lines like this:
hello, how are you
good morning guys
hi
I want the final array strarray to be like this: strarray(0) = "hello, how are you"
strarray(1) = "good morning guys "
strarray(2) = " hi"
The spaces can be as it is. Just i need the string to be delimited wherever <LS> is there.
Please help me as soon as possible. Though it is small one, i am stuck here.
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Do you mean padding a String?
 * This method pads the string s to size n using char c to make up for missing characters.
 public static String padString(String s, int n, char c, boolean paddingLeft) {
 StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer(s);
 int strLength = str.length();
 if (n > 0 && n > strLength) {
 for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
 if (paddingLeft) {
 if (i < n - strLength) str.insert(0, c);
 else {
 if (i > strLength) str.append(c);
 return str.toString();
 }
