Why do older systems
always seem to store every field value in capitals? Why must John Smith be known as JOHN SMITH? -
He's not an acronym!
Whatever the reason
I'd like to convert these values into the proper personal pronoun casing, so it
looks better in my system.
I use Mirth's
transformers, so I prefer to do it in a single line of code too.
He's what I use:
msg['PID']['PID.5']['PID.5.2'].toString().toLowerCase().replace(
/\b((m)(a?c))?(\w)/g, function($1, $2, $3, $4, $5) { if($2){return
$3.toUpperCase()+$4+$5.toUpperCase();} return $1.toUpperCase(); })
Here I'm converting
the first name of a patient with a little bit of regex so that the first
character in a word will be a capital, and all the other characters are lower
case.
It might seem a
little overkill to just making the first character uppercase and the rest
lower, after all the names each come in their own fields. But in the case of a street name this fixes
each word.
E.g.
Inbound
|
22 MAIN STREET
|
|
Becomes :
|
22 Main Street
