I want to delete rows when a variable name contain a string (INFRA)
have
id name
1 don infra
2 waw
3 sik infra
4 dfh
want
id name
2 waw
4 dfh
data have;
input id name & $20.;
cards;
1 don infra
2 waw
3 sik infra
4 dfh
;
data want;
set have;
if not ^^find(name,'infra','i');
run;
Does "infra" vs. "INFRA" make a difference? One possibility:
data want;
set have;
if index(upcase(name), "INFRA") = 0;
run;
No it does not matter.
however the program does not work. what I want is to delete rows containing the string "infra"
So why do you say it does not work?
data have;
input id name & $20.;
cards;
1 don infra
2 waw
3 sik infra
4 dfh
;
data want;
set have;
if not ^^find(name,'infra','i');
run;
Or with FINDW
data have;
input id name & $20.;
cards;
1 don infra
2 waw
3 sik infra
4 dfh
;
data want;
set have;
if not ^^findw(name,'infra',' ','i');
run;
