Hi all,
Say I have the following observations:
fruit
apple
apple comments
pear
pear comment
banan
I want to delete those have 'comments' and 'comment'.
I wrote code as
data mock; set mock0; run;
data mock;
modify mock;
where fruit contains 'comment' and 'comments';
remove;
run;
But it doesn't remove those with 'comments'. Can I do thses two select at once?
Thanks alot!
where fruit contains 'comment' or fruit contains 'comments';
If you are going to create a new dataset anyway, you might as well filter as you copy:
data mock;
set mock0;
where not (fruit contains "comment" or fruit contains "comments");
run;
Would:
data mock; set mock0; where index(fruit,"comment")=0; run;
Not be simpler?
