I am trying to do a find and replace in a character variable. See sample below:
Original character variable---> test.test1.test2.test3
Want to edit replace everything starting with the 1st"." and replace with spaces or nulls, so the final variable contains: test
Any suggestions??
Thanx,
Jim Glover
string = scan(string,1,'.');
you don't mention a variable name so i use string as a generic.
In case if you want to replace all the dots(.) then use this :
name_all=tranwrd(name,'.',' ');
Hope this helps !!
