xlatesubstring error

[Rich]

I’m trying to pull the A off of the MRN, ex. A0004567.  I’m using Cloverleaf 6.0

I tried xlatsubstring and received the following error:

Tcl callout error
xlateStrSubstring 1 end:

errorCode: NONE

errorInfo:
bad type “st”: must be c, d, v, or x
while executing
“xpmstore $xlateId $outAdd $outType [string range $inValue $_first $_last]”
(procedure “xlateStrSubstring” line 15)
invoked from within
“xlateStrSubstring 1 end”

How can I pull the leading A?

 

Thank you!

We do a similar tcl in a couple of our xlates. It looks like this:

set xlateOutVals [string range $xlateInVals 1 end]

I’ve never used TCL translate, but that looks like a good solution.  How do I get the PID.3.1 value into the code, then into the PID segment again?

[Alfred Cox]

normal copy statement with PID-3.1 in source and destination with that code in preproc window.

That worked perfectly, thank you!

If you continue to use the statement like:

set xlateOutVals [string range $xlateInVals 1 end]

You will get burned sooner or later if the field contains spaces.  It should be:

set xlateOutVals

We are using CIS 6.2.6.1 and the xlateStrSubstring function appears to be working, when you were trying it does your PID-3 field have multiple components?

Source: 0(0).PID(0).#3(0).[0]

Action: xlateStrSubstring 1 end

Destination: 0(0).PID(0).#3(0).[0]

Result: 0(0).PID(0).#3(0) “Patient ID (Internal ID)” : >0004567^^^MRN^MRN<

I’m thinking for the reply above it should be sent back as a list if using tcl don’t think the reply came all the way through.

inside the brackets would look like:

set xlateOutVals <open bracket> list <open bracket> string range $xlateInVals 1 end <close bracket> <close bracket>

Also took a screenshot and attached.

Seems my post was truncated.  Should be:

set xlateOutVals

I thought I would pass this on for those that may be dumb as me about how to use the forum  🙂

According to head guru Rob Abbott:

The forum uses “bbcode” for markups, it uses square brackets for things like bold or whatever.

So when posting snippets of code and having problems

Try wrapping that with [code]your text here[/code]

 

Thanks Rob
