This function can be used to split large files containing HL7 message into a seperate file for each message (MSH). Note that JavaScript requires function to be defined before they are called so the Java code is organized in a simular manner to make it easier to view the differences in a diff tool. This should demonstrate some of the changes needed to convert to JavaScipt. The filenaming was changed to use the qie.getUUID() call instead of a counter. This is a simple example but, it highlights a few things to watch for... Please fill free to add issues when converting to this question.
