I want to remove data comes before first comma.
How can I do this.
The following finds the first comma and then uses substr() to get the text after that:
data have;
input text : $char50.;
datalines;
802,803
803,804
60,61
817,818
817,818,819
810,811,812
55,56
55,56,57
;
data want;
set have;
text2 = substr(text,findc(text,',')+1);
run;
Kind regards,
Amir.
Your data is character, right?
yes
Do something like this
data have;
input value $ 1-20;
datalines;
802,803
803,804
60,61
817,818
817,818,819
810,811,812
55,56
55,56,57
;
data want;
set have;
value = prxchange("s/([^,]+),//", 1, value);
run;
Result:
value 803 804 61 818 818,819 811,812 56 56,57
