I need to replace value in a string - "the enddate of employee1 is 15/10/2012" to "the enddate of employee1 is". I am using tranwrd function as x1 = (x,"15/10/2012"," ");
This doesn't seem to be working. Any advise?
data _null_;
a="the enddate of employee1 is 15/10/2012";
b=prxchange('s/\d+\/\d+\/\d+//',-1,a);
put a= b=;
run;
I am not sure if you have actually tried the below code with tranwrd function. This is working, please check
data have;
length x $200.;
x="the enddate of employee1 is 15/10/2012";
x1 = tranwrd(x,"15/10/2012"," ");
run;
Thanks,
Jag
