X12

Use X12Parser for ANSI ASC X12 messages.

using EDIParser;

var parser = new X12Parser
{
    Message = File.ReadAllText("850.edi")
};

parser.ParseMsg();

var transactionSet = parser.GetValue("ST.1", 1, 1);
var purchaseOrderNumber = parser.GetValue("BEG.3", 1, 1);

Separators

The parser detects X12 separators from the interchange header when possible. X12 messages commonly use:

• ~ for segments
• * for data elements
• : for components
• ^ for repetitions in newer versions
