I'm trying to replace a month name from some Hebrew encoding to UTF given as a string literal by using transtrn() function but the string was not replaced:
73 data _null_;
74 txt = '3139363920F8E1EEE8F4F1203035'x;
75 t1 = scan(txt,2,' ');
76 t2 = 'september';
77
78 txt_new = transtrn(txt,t2,t1);
79 put txt_new=;
80 run;
txt_new=1969 ������ 05
it should be:
"1969 september 05"
Hi @Shmuel,
Change the order of the second and third argument and apply the TRIM function:
txt_new = transtrn(txt,trim(t1),t2);
Hi @Shmuel,
Change the order of the second and third argument and apply the TRIM function:
txt_new = transtrn(txt,trim(t1),t2);
Thanks, both functions result as expecterd: trim(t1) as strip(t1)
What @FreelanceReinh said, and heed Maxim 46:
data _null_;
txt = '3139363920F8E1EEE8F4F1203035'x;
t1 = scan(txt,2,' ');
t2 = 'september';
txt_new = transtrn(txt,strip(t1),t2);
put txt_new=;
run;
