HL7 Parser for Swelab Lumi Haematology Analyzer

Introduction

This is a parser for Boule's Swelab Lumi's output which is in HL7 format. The aim of it is to convert the HL7 file into a more readable display for easier referencing. It's a C# console application and it takes the path of the file as an argument. Future updates would be to enter the HL7 text instead of the path of the output file.

Usage

Example use is below:

.\HL7Parser.exe [PATH to HL7 file]

Example

It was done by implementing RegEx (Regular Expressions) using the System.Text.RegularExpressions library in C#. Below is a picture of a successful run. Example output using a random data from a Swelab Lumi HL7 file
