Working on parsing an 846 document

[melaniefedok]

Hello,

I am working through parsing an 846 document. I have created the XML file to match the specification, which I will need added to the project later when I have my testing complete. However, the EDI that I am being sent has the field separator set to '~' and the segment separator set to '*'. Is there a way to set the values to be used for these separators?

Melanie,

At the moment the segment separator, field separator and the composite
separator are set in the base class. This class is a child class of
loop, segment and field classes. The way the code sits today there
isn't an easy way to set the separators from within your project.

Normally the field separator is '*', the segment separator is '~' and
the composite separator is ':'.

The easiest and quickest way to make the change you need is to fork the
x12 code and in the base.rb file under the initialize method, set the
three separator variables to what you need.
