[HAPI-devel] How to Deal with Numeric Result Values with Whitespace

[John G. <jdg...@gm...>]

Some clients of mine hand edited a HL7 result message to fix bad OBX-5
values. I'm not sure why but they padded the value with spaces.

OBX Line:
OBX|5|NM|2231^Sodium||140  |mEq/L|133-146||||F|||20160706073500|ML||||||||||

Because this was a NM type it threw a exception, but how can I attempt to
trim these values prior to parsing?
