NEW Language Req: HL7 reader???

[alarose20]

Hi. I work in healthcare IT, and N++ has been an amazing tool to read anything and everything from SQL to code, but my another big use-case for me is reading HL7 messages when building healthcare interfaces. While N++ lays these out fairly well, it’d be great if there was a LANGUAGE feature for HL7 which color coded the main tags and possibly color coded the PIPE delimiters so that data would pop a bit more between fields.

Of course if there’s a trick to already do this I don’t mind a few extra clicks to make this happen when needed, but just thought I’d also make this a feature request. Hopefully it’s in the right area.
Thanks!

Have you considered making a “User Defined Language” (UDL) for this?
See Language menu > User Defined Language > …

looking at that now… seems a bit daunting at first, but when I get some time I’ll read over the documentation.

Does this help?

@Michael-Vincent Tried to install but got an error: .

Tried the most recent version, and the version before that and got the same error. Maybe they’re having issues at the moment. I’ll try again later. Not super familiar with FHIR outside of name alone as we don’t have anything that utilizes it, but it’s related so I’ll take a look if I can install it.
Thanks

I don’t know anything about it, just saw that a while back when looking for Notepad++ plugins outside the Plugin Admin. I don’t use it, but I cached that nugget until sometime (maybe now?) it would prove useful.

Assuming you downloaded it here: http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/ and installed it to Notepad++ Plugins directory properly:

$(Npp_Dir)\plugins\FIHR_plugin_name\FIHR_plugin_name.dll

where FIHR_plugin_name is the name of the DLL you downloaded from that site?

Maybe ask the develop a question: http://www.healthintersections.com.au/?page_id=110

I can’t seem to find a code repository for the Notepad++ plugin, but here is his Github with other work (including an FIHR server?): https://github.com/grahamegrieve

Cheers.

Did not go there as the previous link took me elsewhere, but that one failed as well with the same error.
