[DICOMDIR]ReferencedFileID and OFString

[Tsunamis]

Hi, Just to mention a little problem, and its solution :

PB :
When I try to make a findAndGetOFString on the referencedFileID in my dicomdir, it only gets me the left part of the string (until the character '\')
My first part is 8 char long, and the second too, and none contains any invalid chars.

Solution :
All happens correctly when using findAndGetString.
dcmDump successfully dumps the dicomdir so the print method works also fine.

Hi,

the character "\" denotes, that this field holds not only one value, but has a Value Multiplicity greater than 1. The method findAndGetOFString takes as a second parameter the position of the value, you want to get (default: first = 0). If you want to get all values together (separated through "\", like the dcmdump output) concatenated in a string, use findAndGetOFStringArray(...). Look into the documentation of DcmItem for API explanations.

Regards,
Michael

Interesting indeed,
I didn't see that the string i passed was treated as separate tokens.

Thanks for the explanation.
