Example

A Parser processes input with the following structure:

ST*12*23~
NM1*12*23*4~
N1*12*23~
NM1*13*23*4~
N2*1*2*3~
SE*12*2:3:4~

The records are delimited by newline characters. Within each record, the fields are delimited by

, and

characters.

The first field of each record identifies the record type. There are five main record types:

ST
NM1
N1
N2
SE

In the

NM1

records, the second field is a subtype. There are two subtypes:

NM1*12
NM1*13

The records must occur in the following sequence:

record.

NM1*12

record followed by

NM1*13

record followed by

record.

You can parse this input by configuring a

StructureDefinition

anchor.

The

format_definition

property contains a

RepeatingGroup

that finds the records. The

RepeatingGroup

performs the following operations:

It finds the record content, up to the newline delimiter.

It extracts the record-type identifier, such as

NM1

, and stores it in the

$id

variable.

If the record type is

NM1

, it extracts the subtype (

), and stores it in the

$qualifier

variable.

It runs an

ExtractRecord

anchor that passes the record to the subelements.

ExtractRecord

attaches the

$id

and

$qualifier

identifiers to the record.

The element is configured to match any record that has the identifier

The

format_definition

encounters the first input record and passes it to the subelements. The first record matches the first subelement because it has the

identifier. The first subelement contains

Content Marker Content

anchors, which parse the record.

The second subelement defines a sequence of nested subelements. The first nested subelement matches a record having the identifiers

NM1

and

. The second nested subelement matches a record having an identifier of

The second and third input records are

NM1*12

and

. These match the sequence of subelements. Each nested subelement parses the corresponding record.

Suppose that the second and third records were

NM1*12

and

. These do not match the subelements hierarchy, so they would not be parsed.

The next records are

NM1*13

and

. They match the third subelement, named

Loop2000

The last record is

, matching the last subelement.

All the input records match the subelements hierarchy, so the

StructureDefinition

successfully parses the complete input.
