[HAPI-devel] NumberFormatException from PipeParser

[William B. <wb...@pa...>]

OK here's a newbie question:

I worked through the introductory tutorial fine including the  
interaction between TestPanel and SimpleServer.

However when I programmatically read an HL7 file containing:

MSH|^~\&| ...blah... |P|2.3|1508
EVN|A08|20031105133757|||hearnm
....

into the string stringFromFile. and send it to an instance of  
PipeParser as

parser = new PipeParser()
message = parser.parse(stringFromFile)

I get:

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1508
EVN"
         at

a:48)

ca.uhn.hl7v2.model.DataTypeException: java.lang.NumberFormatException:  
For input string: "1508
EVN": Segment: MSH (rep 0) Field #12

The same text copied and pasted into TestPanel works fine. I guess the  
end of the line is not being recognized. Can anything be done to help  
this?

Thanks,
