Description
Split a medicine reference at its last version delimiter.
Pharmacy administration distinguishes medicine and document identifiers, service records, stock balances and payment conventions from decisions about care. Literal labels and supplied status flags help reconcile records, while medicine identity, appropriate treatment and actual availability require independent verification.
Split a medicine reference at its last version delimiter.
When to use this tool
Use Medicine Source Version Gap when reconciling the stated pharmacy record, inventory, timing or financial convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter medicineReference, versionDelimiter, expectedVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read medicineToken, sourceVersion, versionPresent, matchesExpected. Inspect versionPresent, matchesExpected before interpreting the associated values.
Split a medicine reference at its last version delimiter. Require nonempty delimiter; without it retain the reference and empty sourceVersion, otherwise split literally, set versionPresent and compare to expectedVersion.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| medicineReference | Medicine Reference | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| versionDelimiter | Version Delimiter | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| expectedVersion | Expected Version | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| medicineToken | Medicine Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| sourceVersion | Source Version | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| versionPresent | Delimiter occurs, even when one split component is empty. | Required. Boolean. |
| matchesExpected | Matches Expected | Required. Boolean. |
{
"input": {
"medicineReference": "med@v2",
"versionDelimiter": "@",
"expectedVersion": "v2"
},
"output": {
"medicineToken": "med",
"sourceVersion": "v2",
"versionPresent": true,
"matchesExpected": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Empty version or medicine text can occur when a delimiter is present; no source, medicine or current edition is authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect verified medicine and service records and the applicable professional procedures; use appropriate clinical systems and qualified professional judgment for care or supply decisions.
