Hi,
I need help with the following:
I have one variable (string) in a dataset with variable name Record. eg.
automation:The use of largely automatic equipment in a system of manufacturing or other production process
I need to break it into two variables, namely word (automation), and meaning (everything after colon). Could someone tell me a clean way of doing this in SAS.
Jijil
pls try this code.
data test;
input cust_name$14.;
datalines;
Tarun|Kumar
Richa|Jain
Jaya|Jain
Rakesh|Kumar
;
run;
data test_1 (drop = cust_name);
set test;
Fisrt_Name = scan(cust_name,1,'|');
Last_name = scan(cust_name,-1,'|');
run;
Thanks a lot Tarun. I did not know how to use scan (string, -1, "dlm").
Regards,
Jijil
