Class: X12::Segment

Finds a field in the segment. Returns EMPTY if not found.

88:       return self.nodes[field_num]
89:     end

parse(str)

Parses this segment out of a string, puts the match into value, returns the rest of the string - nil if cannot parse

regexp()

Returns a regexp that matches this particular segment

68:       @regexp ||= Regexp.new("^#{name}#{Regexp.escape(field_separator)}[^#{Regexp.escape(segment_separator)}]*#{Regexp.escape(segment_separator)}")
69:     end

render()

Render all components of this segment as string suitable for EDI
