My colleagues and I were wondering why the varstring class is hidden in the Intersystems documentation. Is it "safe" to use ? We tried looking it up in the forum and it seems like it is used by other developpers. Is there anything we should know before using it ?
I need to make changes to OBX 5 which shows as immutable
I have tried ConstructClone, ThrowOnError, and Streams but I can't get the syntax correct
Example
OBX|1|TX|2000.02^REASON FOR REQUEST^AS4|142|REASON FOR REQUEST: Total Cost: 0.00||||||O ^^^^ remove "REASON FOR REQUEST" ^^ add cr/lf so down stream reports can be formatted more easily
I'm looking towards a functionality alike Python's difflib, but made with Intersystems products. I already know could embed Python code within IRIS but thought maybe there was a development already done for handling deltas, with a different approach or extra utils.
Even if I find such a library after comparing both might still go with difflib or any other more suitable. Intend to use it for a cross-environment checklist/check tool.
Please find below a sample of HTML rendering computed and made with difflib, with a few lines of code:
