Trying to yank the data off the HI segment. Specifically, I'm trying to get the DRG right now, but I'm gonna have to pull the rest of the HI coding as my next step.

The line is HI*DR:189~.

How do you pull the 189 value from this using javascript?

Is there something different about pulling the values after the colon? I originally tried segment['HI.02']['HI.02.1'] but that's not right.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

You want to upload the channel and a sample message?

Here's an extract from the data.

HI*ABK:U071:::::::Y~
HI*ABJ:R0603~
HI*DR:177~
HI*ABF:J1289:::::::Y*ABF:E039:::::::Y*ABF:M353:::: :::Y*ABF569:::::::Y*ABF:A499:::::::Y*ABF:E559::::: ::Y~

Here's my current code, which is wrong...

function HI(segment)
{
if (segment['HI.01']['HI.01.1'].toString() == 'DR')
{
m_DRG = segment['HI.02']['HI.02.1'].toString();
m_CurrentLoop = '2300';
}
return true;
}

There must be some string manipulation that gets done in order to pull out the values after the colon (. Not sure how I'm supposed to access that data?

Thanks.

Not sure how I'm supposed to access that data?

That's why it would help if you could upload the message and export/upload the channel. There's several ways to access it using JavaScript but what data types are you working with and does the source message validate against the configured data types. If you're treating the whole message as RAW data, hence a string, then you could theoretically find the colons and grab the data that follows but I wouldn't recommend it. .indexOf() and .substr() / substring() methods can be used to traverse strings and grab data but it's not very efficient to try to process the whole data structure using those methods. If you want to upload the channel and a sample message, I'm happy to take a look at it.

Something like this might work:

for each (seg in msg.children())
{ // using Iterate Over All Segment
      logger.error('outer = ' + seg.name().toString());
if (seg.name().toString() == "HI")
{ // <--- using Iterate Over Segment
     var sample_value = seg['HI.01.1'].toString();
     logger.error('sample value = ' + sample_value); } }

Thanks - wasn't moving down the segment correctly.

Used your example and made this to loop through the HI segment - let me see where the values were sitting.

for each (seg in segment.children())
{
logger.info("HI:" + seg.name() + " " + seg.toString() + "\r\n");
}

Then the DRG was here:

m_DRG = segment['HI.01']['HI.01.2'].toString();

Thanks again for the help.

mwellington42 Did you try putting a sample message in the inbound template of your transformer? That should allow you see the xml layout in the message tree and generate the correct code to access a given element if you drag and drop it from the tree.
