Hi, I have a column in a table having string values like:
have: "amazing,123 cruise|amazing2,123 cruise2|"
want: "amazing | amazing2"
summary: need to delete substrings occurring between "," and "|" and then delete ","
The column has lots of such values and I want to replace wherever such instance occurs.
Urgent help required, thanks!
data have; have="amazing,123 cruise|amazing2,123 cruise2|"; want=prxchange('s/\,[^\,\|]+\|/|/',-1,have); run; proc print;run;
