Using the Code [top]

- Experiment with the code to find out how it works
- Then add the module to your Translator project

Note: This module uses require to return a single function - Adapt the code to your own requirements
- hl7.serialize{} to serialize the code with the desired delimiters and/or escape characters
- Interactive scripting help is included for this module
This is the github code for the main module:
How it works [top]
The hl7.serialize{} function serializes an HL7 node tree (message) using the supplied delimiters, if no delimiters are supplied the HL7 defaults delimiters are used.
You can also supply (a parameter for) non-standard escapes for embedded delimiters, if no escapes are supplied it uses the HL7 default escapes are used.
