Hi Team,
I just wanted to retrieve the Word prior to the "=" sign. The below code I tried.
DATA T1;
LENGTH string _string str1 str2 $500;
string="Set Medicine; HEADACHE=24-JAN-2013; SEVERE=04-FEB-2013; MODERATE=04-DEC-2013";
_string=string;
Pos=0;
Curr=0;
prev=0;
DO WHILE (INDEX(_string,"=")>0);
Prev=prev+pos;
Pos=INDEX(_string,"=");
_string=SUBSTR(_string,pos+1,LENGTH(_string)-pos);
Curr=curr+pos;
END;
str1=SUBSTR(string, 1,prev-1);
str2=SCAN(string,-2,"=");
PUT str1 "," str2;
y=substr(string,(index(string,"=")),10);
x=scan(substr(string,index(UPCASE(string),"=")),1,';');
/*scan(substr(sas_code2,index(UPCASE(sas_code2),"SELECT")),2,' ');*/
RUN;
Please help me to retrieve the HEADACHE SEVERE MODERATE as an output.
Thanks

wHYisYoUr coDE l ikE this? Code formatting is key to anyone understanding your code, standardised casing, indentation and such like.
Now from your logic, you can do (and note the code formatting and use of code window which is {i} above post area):
data want; string="Set Medicine; HEADACHE=24-JAN-2013; SEVERE=04-FEB-2013; MODERATE=04-DEC-2013"; length param result $200; do i=2 to countw(string,";"); param=scan(scan(string,i,";"),1,"="); result=scan(scan(string,i,";"),2,"="); output; end; run;
Also note, you have not shown what you want to see output, so I have just guessed.
data want;
string="Set Medicine; HEADACHE=24-JAN-2013; SEVERE=04-FEB-2013; MODERATE=04-DEC-2013";
pid=prxparse('/\w+(?==)/');
s=1;e=length(string);
call prxnext(pid,s,e,string,p,l);
do while(p>0);
want=substr(string,p,l);
output;
call prxnext(pid,s,e,string,p,l);
end;
drop pid p l s e;
run;
