Luck? No luck involved - you'll do fine. Have fun!

Onboarding the new dev today, which is exciting.

Care to 'splain, Lucy?

lol, sure. Over in Pigeon Forge, TN there is a large Titanic museum. One of the "Fun" things they do is give each person an identity of someone who was aboard the titanic in some capacity. Then as you get toward the end they have a big wall of those who survived and those who died. Both of the identities I got this year and last year went down with the ship. This year I was one of the officers in the crew. Last year I was a 3rd class Irish passenger.

Shouldn't have had that fling with that selfish English brat, there was plenty of room for you on that flotsam she survived on.

Please tell me you had someone in your party yell - "Ohh '3rd-class-Irish-passenger', draw me like one of your D.I.C. girls!".

Bored. Waiting on estimates for the brake repair, I will probably get to the pi updates I need to make, just to get them out of the way. Being home, I may work on my accounting system that I have been ignoring. It is trivial until December, but vital at that point so I don't have to individually contact my clients. Probably not the best thing to say, but it's true.


I guess I will just screw around and play with Symfony 3.

I've written more javascript in the last 4 hours than I've written in the last 4 years. My brain hurts.

[Nitewalkr]

Good Ghaad you are talking in Javascript now.

[lordofduct]

Rewriting a "*.vmd", it's a file format that is used by Interfaceware Iguana to parse HL7 to and from a database.

You can write python in it for scripting purposes.

This... this is the sort of code I'm reading right now.

SPECSRC = value
SpecSource = SPECSRC
   
value = value.replace('&', '')
value = value.replace("&", "")
value = value.replace('$', '')
value = value.replace('!','^')

I WANT TO SCREAM!

SPECSRC is a global string that this locally scoped sets to the current value.
SpecSource is ALSO a global string... you know for the places in the *.vmd where one doesn't want to write SPECSRC.
And lets make sure to remove all "&" and '&'s... just in case.

[edit]

OMFG, I found where both of those globals get used.

1 place elsewhere in the *.vmd....

if resultheader=="Material Submitted" and value=="":
   value=SPECSRC
elif (resultheader=="Final Diagnosis" or resultheader=="IMP") and recfacid == "**redacted for anonymity**":
   value = SpecSource + ": " + value

I feel for you LOD, I deal with X12 and HL7 daily. I have used a program called X12Parser which if used in code pukes because the ISA segment is "Too Short", but if I call it as a process passing it the exact same file it succeeds. I'll have to take a look at Iguana to see if it'll work for what I'm after now.

my party consisted of Me, My wife, and my two young girls... so No, not in public at least. However, once the kids are in bed...

I don't remember what system the etl guys use for our processing, other than it used an outdated version of rhino parser.

Ah, another person here who has to wade through the quagmire that is the medical industry... I always had little faith in the bureaucracy of this industry, now that I work in it, I have even less. It is terrifyingly outdated, held together by ducttape, and most annoyingly... everyone involved in it nickles and dimes every little electronic transaction along the way.

So three of us are med. Wonder where everyone else falls?

[lordofduct]

Oh, you're med too?

I wasn't sure if you were talking to B9 or something, the mention of rhino (mozilla rhino js parser?) made me think that.

[astonecipher]

Yep. The rhino parser works in some program that escapes me for eligibility, claims, and hl7 files.
