Re: Can I use REGEX to remove last character in a file

Hi Glen,

regex is extremely powerful but quite slow. Test the perfromance difference of

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF REGEX '(.*)#$' IN lineWITH '$1'

against

SHIFT line RIGHT DELETING TRAILING CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE. "or CR_LF

The character displayed as '#' is probably a contraol character, check out the CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES attributes.
