How to disassemble flat file trailer without tag identifiers in body part

Say we have a flat file like below. The first 3 lines are body elements but the number/looping count of bodies are uncertain(occurs from 1 to *). There is no tag identifier in body part. The last line in the file is always a trailer.

In this case, however can FFDASM disassemble the file and identify the last line is trailer but not a body element?

The answer is such flatfile disassembling will not be able to work without tag identifier on body part elements.

 

So the only solution is to use a custom pipeline component to add these tag identifiers before performing the disassembling. For example:

 

BODY1115151651515950000055 00012913702613000000000003000                                       000139C0000007000         

BODY1215151651121510000054 00022913803603000000000009000                                       000279A0000009000         

BODY1315115950000065516515 00032813104643000000000007000                                       000399B0000003000         

121515160003290003290000010000000003000                                                                                

 

(BODY is the tag identifier being added.)

 

The output XML files are like:

The following is the custom pipeline component code.

 

         public IBaseMessage Execute(IPipelineContext pContext, IBaseMessage pInMsg)

        {

            //Validate parameters

            if (pContext == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("pContext");

            if (pInMsg == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("pInMsg");

 

            this.pipelineContext = pContext;

            this.baseMessage = pInMsg;

 

            string partName;

 

            for (int i = 0; i < baseMessage.PartCount; i++)

            {

                MemoryStream outStream = new MemoryStream();

 

                partName = null;

                IBaseMessagePart part = baseMessage.GetPartByIndex(i, out partName);

                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(part.GetOriginalDataStream());

                string partBody = reader.ReadToEnd();

 

                StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(outStream, new UTF8Encoding());               

 

                string[] separator = new string[] {"\r\n"};

                string[] strArray = partBody.Split(separator, StringSplitOptions.None);

 

 

                for (int n = 0; n < strArray.Length; n++)

                {

                    //There will be a blank string in the last line of the array. So we don't need to add tag to the last 2 lines.

                    if (n < (strArray.Length - 2))     

                    {

                        strArray[n] = "BODY" + strArray[n];

                    }

 

                    //Add the line break back.

                    writer.Write(strArray[n] + "\r\n");

                }                             

                

                writer.Flush();

               

                outStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

                part.Data = outStream;

            }

            return baseMessage;

        }
