Splitting Data
EDIFileSplitter is capable of splitting an X12 EDI data into many smaller strings. Developers can split data at the envelope level (ISA), the functional group level (GS) , or the header level (ST) by setting the FileSplitLevel property of EDIFileSplitter.
Example
const edi = require(‘rdpcrystal-edi-library’);
//Original document with 2 Transactions (ST)
let original =”ISA*00* *00* *ZZ*133052274 *ZZ*311279999…”;
//Create a new EDIFileSplitter
let splitter = new edi.EDIFileSplitter();
//Split the document at the ST header
splitter.FileSplitLevel = edi.FileSplitLevel.HEADER;
//Put 1 ST-SE loop in each file
splitter.NumberOfItemsPerFile = 1;
//Split the document
let splitDocs = splitter.split(original);
console.log(“First Split Document”);
console.log(splitDocs[0]);
console.log(“Second Split Document”);
console.log(splitDocs[1]);
EDIFileSplitter will add the correct number of items in element 1 of the SE, GE, and IEA segments.
