HL7 Variant Print Out

[Rob Lindsey]

has anyone figured out a way to either print or output a variant so that it can be viewed by other means other than through the GUI?

When I want to share the message structure with others I just copy and paste the structure to an email or editor or Word from the GUI.

Sometimes I take a screen shot.

If I want a segment layout, I do the same thing.

I use a PHP script to create an html file. Not super straight-forward, but maybe it will help.

I’ve attached the script. To run it, you do:

% php displayVariantHTML.php /path/to/variant >output.html

For example,

% php displayVariantHTML C:quovadxqdx5.7integratorformatshl72.3.1 > output.html

I’ve only used it on cloverleaf 5.7 on Windows, but it usually does the trick on Linux as well. Feel free to hit me back if you run into problems. (I had to rename the extension to .txt to upload it – just change it back after you download it).
