Hi, I am using SAS 9.3.
Does anyone have suggestions to resolve the following issue?
Now, I have one variable recorded as: Birthday Sex Height Weight
and the expected result is: Birthday, Sex, Height, Weight
JC
data x;
x='Birthday Sex Height Weight';
y=prxchange('s/\s+/, /',-1,strip(x));
run;
proc print;run;
data x;
x='Birthday Sex Height Weight';
y=prxchange('s/\s+/, /',-1,strip(x));
run;
proc print;run;
It works. Thank for your help!
Is 's/\s+/,/' fixed?
Can I use PRXCHANGE in macro? Perhaps, %let a=%sysfunc(prxchange('s/\s+/,/',-1,strip(x))); ?
JC
Yes.I add a white blank after comma.
%let x=sex weight height;
%let a=%sysfunc(prxchange(%str(s/\s+/, /),-1,&x));
%put &a ;
