      I am trying to replace the “|” delmiter with a “;” via a tcl proc.  I know this can be done in an Xlate but was trying to avoid building one since I didn’t need to so far.  I do not get the desired results when using this command in an outbound or inbound TPS:

      regsub -all — “|” $origMsg “;” NewMsg

      Can someone tell me how to make this change ?

      Thanks.

          Hi Amy,

          Try:

           regsub -all — {|} $origMsg {;} NewMsg

            Hi Amy,

            Robert’s suggestion should work but just to clarify something – if you want to ‘work’ on any of the reserved HL7 characters i.e &^~| then you need to use a backslash – yes this means becomes \.

            Also use the {} braces to delimit your code – it makes it easier to read as well as helping the parser.

            Regards

            Garry
