EDI x12 -- XML
Hello, List- I am working on automating a system accepting input data in EDI x12 format and would like to convert it to XML. Before I start, I thought I'd ask if anyone has worked on such a beast. I have seen work by Chris Cioffi on parsing EDI records. Is anything else out there before I either write one or use one that I have written in Perl? Thanks! --greg-- Greg Lindstrom 501 975.4859 Computer Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] NovaSys Health Little Rock, Arkansas We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.

Is anything else out there before I either write one or use one that I have written in Perl? I wrote a thing like that a long time ago. As a pure coding task, it's not that hard. The main hassle is having the appropriate segment and element dictionaries for the docs you're trying to parse (comparable to XML DTD's). Maybe they're online someplace now. The main thing needing special code was the HL segment, which has a recursive structure, but even that's such a big deal. I don't know why you want to do this, but if you have a use for it, go for it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: EDI x12 -- XML
Hi, In case you weren't aware of the pyx12 project on sourceforge. The project summary on sourceforge.net (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyx12/) says the following and I quote: pyx12 is a python based ANSI X.12 to XML EDI translator and validator. It is designed to be a step in the conversion of a X12 transaction to back-end database process. It can convert to and from an XML representation of the X12 document. fyi. thanks, Satchit Satchidanand Haridas (sharidas at zeomega dot com) ZeOmega (www.zeomega.com) Open Minds' Open Solutions #20,Rajalakshmi Plaza, South End Road, Basavanagudi, Bangalore-560 004, India Greg Lindstrom wrote: Hello, List- I am working on automating a system accepting input data in EDI x12 format and would like to convert it to XML.
