Split File And Path

Here is the simple solution for a problem that we frequently faced, splitting path and file name from  files full path.

DATA : lv_file_path TYPE string VALUE 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\welcome.png'.

DATA : lv_path_only type string ,

       lv_filename_only type string.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_SPLIT_FILE_AND_PATH'

  EXPORTING

    full_name     = lv_file_path

  IMPORTING

    stripped_name = lv_path_only

    file_path     = lv_filename_only

  EXCEPTIONS

    x_error       = 1

    OTHERS        = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

* Implement suitable error handling here

ENDIF.

RESULT :

LV_PATH_ONLY >> 'welcome.png'

LV_FILENAME_ONLY >> 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\'
