Has anyone had an issue where hl7 data was coming into the engine with an extra 0d on the last segment. Here is an example: Code:message : ‘MSH:;~&:SPC:N:IM:N:200907020101:41:ADT;A04:9838707:D:2.2:9838707::AL::x0dEVN:A04:200907020101::x0dPID::01013071:1119123;;;N:118450;N198670:CONTROL;BARE;LEEIN;::19450918:F::2:1219 ANTABUSE DR;;GLEN BURNIE;MD;21061;US;C;02:02:(410)455-1236:(410)787-4000X7856:ENGLISH;E;:M:;:918300001;;;N:006-23-1236:x0dPD1::::271;SHERMAN;EDWARD;N::::::::N:x0dNK1:1:CONTROL;RELATIVE:H;;:1219 ANTABUSE DR;;GLEN BURNIE;MD;21061;US:(410)455-1236:x0dPV1::O:;;;N;;;:3:::477;YORK;JAMES;J;;;MD::””:PHT:::0918100001;;;N:1:::477;YORK;JAMES;J;;;MD:OPS;;N:0918300001;;;N:S:::::::::::::::::::N:::::200907020001:::::x0dAL1:::;:::x0dDG1:0:I9::ADM DIAG::ADMITTING::::::::x0dDG1:99:I9::ADM DIAG::WORKING::::::::x0dGT1:1:118450:CONTROL;BARE;LEEIN;::1219 ANTABUSE DR;;GLEN BURNIE;MD;21061;US;C;02:(410)455-1236::19450918:F::S:006-23-1236:::1:BALT/WASH MED CNTR;BWMC:301 HOSPITAL DRIVE;;GLEN BURNIE;MD;21061;US;;02:(410)787-4000X7856::1x0dIN1:1:::::::::::::::;;:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::x0dACC:””::x0dUB1:1:::::::::::::::11;20090604~;~;~;~;:::::::x0dZCA:::;;;x0dZCV:2::***::::::::PHT:x0dZCD::N:::;;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::x0dZCE:16;NURSE;:””:BWMC;BALT/WASH MED CNTR;N:301 HOSPITAL DRIVE;;GLEN BURNIE;MD;21061;US;;02::::1::x0dZCI:1:::S:::N:::::::::::::::::::::::::::x0dZCM:N::::::::::::::::::::::271;SHERMAN;EDWARD;N:N:x0dx0d’
I am sending this data Raw; std mlp; from the sending system. The receiving vendor can not handle this “extra” 0d and ends up sending the ack terminating with 0d 0d. First, I going to sending system and telling them to fix the “extra” 0d. If that does not go well, how can I fix this in the engine? Also, I find this odd that I have never had any other vendor complain of this and we have about 20 adt feeds; one of which is a raw feed 😕

Code:
set msg “hello, world!x0dblahblahblahx0dfoobarx0dx0d”
# regsub ?switches? exp string subSpec ?varName?
regsub — {rr$} $msg “r” msg
puts $msgHere is some test code that works. The “$” means match on the end of the line, so “rr$” would only match on two carriage returns at the end of the line.

Max, Just thinking, but suppose the message for some crazy reason had 3 carriage returns at the end. If you ran that code against it, wouldn’t it still have double carriage returns? Wouldn’t something like this work if you just wanted to be sure to return a single carriage return?
regsub — {[r]+$} $msg “r” msg
Here is what I did using just a 0d and not an actual carriage return:
hcitcl>set msg “hello,world!0dblahblahblah0dfoobar0d0d0d”
hello,world!0dblahblahblah0dfoobar0d0d0d
hcitcl>regsub — {[0d]+$} $msg “0d” msg
1
hcitcl>echo $msg
hello,world!0dblahblahblah0dfoobar0d
What do you think???

Well, I spoke to soon on this. After doing some more investigation it appears the “extra” r is being added in by the engine (or some tcl code). The following two procs touch all the ADT messages, so I am thinking one of them may be the issue. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything, but I am no tcl pro and these procs were written years ago. At any rate I am posting both procs here in the hopes someone “sees” something.

# Name: tps_adt_normalize
# Purpose: Normalizes HBOC HL7 message by removing 2nd subfield
# from message type. And removes the leading zeros from Med. Rec.# and
# ACCT.#. Proc will also KILL message if “acct_ln” (PID:18) is true (temp number),
# which is not a valid account number
#
# UPoC type: sms_ib_data
# Insert proc after acknowledge procedure
# ARGS: {ACCTLN number} : Default number is 6.
# Length of PID:18, account number field
# {DEBUG value} : 0= off
# 1= on
# Returns: CONTINUE modified message if acct_ln is not true, else KILL message
#
# Usage:
# STAR sends HL7 messages with 3 subfields in the message
# type, ie., ADT^A01^05. Cloverleaf cannot handle this. This
# proc removes the 2nd subfield and stores it in field 7
# (Security, unused) of the MSH segment. This can be undone using
# the unnormalize.tcl proc I could not find this procedure on the
# server, but leaving this comment for historical purposes.

# The messages contain the character "&" in the several fields.

# The specified field is checked, all occurrences of & are replaced with +.
# The new message is then created, the original message killed,

Based on what you are telling us my first suspicion is to investigate the following code you posted as a possible cause of haveing rr after the last segment: Code:append outbuf ${seg}r
}
#
# Put modified message in message handle and KILL msg if acctln is less or equal to PID:18
#
msgset $mh $outbufYou could either remove the appending of r to outbuf or either do the triming of rr that you’ve become familiar with just before doing the msgset.
I don’t have enough spare time to copy your code and do a test.
