Syncronizing HL7 messages

[Scooter_pei 0]

I am having an issue consistantly syncronizing HL7 messages where Evernote complains about "invalid characters".  I assume, Evernote cannot escape | or ~ or ^ which are common delimeters in HL7 communications.  Is this a known issue, with a path to a resolution soon?

 

example :

 

MSH|^~\&|MESA_ADT|XYZ_ADMITTING|MESA_OF|XYZ_DEPARTMENT|||ADT^A45|131103|P|2.3.1|||||

EVN||20130429142100||||20130429142100|

PID|||0206352^^^DCMH||LOPEZ^DEMETRIA ANTONIO|||M|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

PV1||OP|||||||||||||||||806128|||||||||||||||||||||||||20130426112400|||||||V|

 

Thanks,

Scott

You'll need to be more specific about how these messages are getting into Evernote.

 

If you're just copying and pasting these messages into Evernote, then there's no real reason that '|', '~' or '^' would be escaped or otherwise treated as delimiters, since they're valid text characters (I wouldn't want my use of these in a C++ code snippet mangled, for instance). I'm guessing that something else is happening, though it's hard to tell without more information.
