FIND: ABAP Keyword a Day

FIND:  Searches for patterns.

FIND <p> IN [SECTION OFFSET <off> LENGTH <len> OF] <text> 
[IGNORING CASE| RESPECTING CASE] 
[IN BYTE MODE|IN CHARACTER MODE] 
[MATCH OFFSET <0>] 
[MATCH LENGTH <l>].

The system searches the field <text> for the pattern <p>.

• The SECTION OFFSET <off> LENGTH <len> OF addition tells the system to search only from the <off> position in the length <len>.
• IGNORING CASE or RESPECTING CASE (default) specifies whether the search is to be case-sensitive.
• In Unicode programs, you must specify whether the statement is a character or byte operation, using the IN BYTE MODE or IN CHARACTER MODE (default) additions.
• The MATCH OFFSET and MATCH LENGTH additions set the offset of the first occurrence and length of the search string in the fields <p> and <l>.

Use FIND IN TABLE for searching in the internal table.

DATA: c_erpdb TYPE string value 'ERP',
      result_tab TYPE match_result_tab.
 
FIELD-SYMBOLS <match> LIKE LINE OF result_tab.
 
FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF c_erpdb IN
     `ERPDB.INFO - Unofficial ERP Knowledge Base`
     RESULTS result_tab.
 
LOOP AT result_tab ASSIGNING <match>.
  WRITE: / <match>-offset, <match>-length.
ENDLOOP.
