String Search operation Inputs required

Hi Friends,

I am trying to find the best possible approach to find out whether the given word has got leading space or trailing space.

For eg: l_word1 = '  SDN'. l_word2 = 'sdn  '.

When i run my logic, for l_word1 it should tell me that i have leading blank space for word2 it should tell me that it has trailing space.

for leading space, i am able to find out using the following regular expression in the itab result_tab.

But not able to capture the trailing space indicator, any pointers on this would be of great help.

Thanks, Uday

w_search   TYPE string,

w_text     TYPE string,

w_text = ' uday bhaskar '.

w_search = '\s'. "'[[:space:]]'.

FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX w_search IN w_text RESULTS result_tab.
