[Quickfix-users] Post-processing

[Richard H. <rh...@pe...>]

Hello.  I have an application that sends information to a variety of destinations, through a variety of routes.  The application works well.

Now it is emerging that some of those destinations want special treatment.  “Oh, when you send me my symbol name, please append this string to it.  It will help me in my processing.”  I suspect that a lot of destinations will want some particular thing slightly different.  I can imagine my neat, simple application getting festooned with crap.

It would be nice to do some post-processing.  After the application has finished its work, and thinks the fix message is ready to send out, it checks whether there is a script stored for this destination.  If there is, it runs the string representing the fix message through the script, and sends the result.  Perhaps one can embed awk, or the perl regular expression processor.

Will I break anything if I pull the string representing the fix message back from the QuickFix engine right before I call Session.sendToTarget, possibly change the string, give it back to the engine, and call sendToTarget?


                Regards,

                Rick
