| void DcmPathProcessor::setItemWildcardSupport | ( | const OFBool & | supported | ) |
Sets whether searching/creating paths will support wildcard for items.
If set to false, any path operation with item wildcard characters will return an error.
| supported | [in] If true, wildcard are enabled (default) If false, item wildcard support is disabled. |
| void DcmPathProcessor::checkPrivateReservations | ( | const OFBool & | doChecking | ) |
Enables (class default: enabled) or disables checking of private reservations when inserting private tags.

| doChecking | [in] OFTrue enables reservation checking, OFFalse disables it. |
| OFCondition DcmPathProcessor::findOrCreatePath | ( | DcmObject * | obj, | |
| const OFString & | path, | |||
| OFBool | createIfNecessary = OFFalse | |||
| ) |
Function that allows for finding and/or inserting a hierarchy of items and attributes as defined by a path string; also returns a list of pointers for each sucessfully found or inserted paths.
Every list contains pointers pointing to all the objects along the path starting from the object given as parameter. The pointer to the starting object will not be part of the result.
In principle, the path string must have the following format (in arbitrary depth). Note that for searching a sequence, the example below would start with [ITEMNO] instead: SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].ATTRIBUTE . ITEMNO must be a positive integer starting with 0. SEQUENCE and ATTRIBUTE must be a tag, written e. g. "(0010,0010)" or as a dictionary name, e. g. "PatientName". If the path cannot be fully created (see option createIfNecessary), any possibly object changes are reverted. So a path is either fully created or no path component is created at all. The result can be obtained by calling the getResults() function.
Example: The path "ContentSequence[4].(0040,a043)[0].CodeValue" selects the Content Sequence in the given object, therein the 5th item, therein the "Concept Name Code Sequence" denoted by (0040,a043), therein the first item and finally therein the tag "Code Value". The resulting object list should (if success is returned) contain 1 result, consisting of a list with 5 pointers to 5 objects in the order in their logical order as they occur in the path string (in total 2 sequences, 2 items, and one leaf attribute).
| obj | [in] The object to search (or create) a path in | |
| path | [in] The path either starting with an attribute (either a sequence or a a leaf attribute as a dicitionary name or tag) or starting with an item | |
| createIfNecessary | [in] If set, all missing objects found in the path string are created. If not set, only existing paths can be accessed and no new attribute or item is created. |
| OFCondition DcmPathProcessor::findOrDeletePath | ( | DcmObject * | obj, | |
| const OFString & | path, | |||
| Uint32 & | numDeleted | |||
| ) |
Function that allows for deleting elements and items from a DICOM object tree.
In principle, the path string must have the following format (in arbitrary depth). Note that for searching in a sequence, the example below would start with [ITEMNO] instead: SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].ATTRIBUTE . ITEMNO must be a positive integer starting with 0. SEQUENCE and ATTRIBUTE must be a tag, written e. g. "(0010,0010)" or as a dictionary name, e. g. "PatientName".
Example: The path "ContentSequence[4].(0040,a043)[0].CodeValue" selects the Content Sequence in the given object, therein the 5th item, therein the "Concept Name Code Sequence" denoted by (0040,a043), therein the first item and finally therein the tag "Code Value". Only "Code Value" will be deleted by the function.
| obj | [in] The object to delete attribute or item from | |
| path | [in] The path either starting with an attribute (either a sequence or a a leaf attribute as a dicitionary name or tag) or starting with an item | |
| numDeleted | [out] Number of deleted attributes/items |
Returns the results from the search / creation call.
| searchResults | [out] The resulting paths that were created/searched Note that the memory of the search results is freed automatically by the destructor and must not be freed by the caller. |
| OFCondition DcmPathProcessor::applyPathWithValue | ( | DcmDataset * | dataset, | |
| const OFString & | overrideKey | |||
| ) |
Helper function that applies a specified "override key" in path syntax to the given dataset.
The name "override" indicates that these keys have higher precedence than identical keys in a request dataset that might possibly read from a DICOM query file.
| dataset | [in/out] the dataset (e.g. query keys) the override key is applied to. Must be non-NULL. | |
| pathParam | [in] the override key in path syntax (see class DcmPath). Also the path can end with a value assignment, e. g. "PatientName=Doe^John". An empty (or missing value) will not be ignored but will be written as empty to the attribute (if not a sequence or item) |
| OFCondition DcmPathProcessor::findOrCreateItemPath | ( | DcmItem * | item, | |
| OFString & | path | |||
| ) | [protected] |
Function that allows for finding and/or inserting a hierarchy of items and attributes as defined by a path string; also returns a list of pointers for each sucessfully found or inserted paths.
Every list contains pointers pointing to all the objects along the path starting from the object given as parameter. The pointer to the starting object will not be part of the result.
In principle, the path string must have the following format (in arbitrary depth). SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].ATTRIBUTE . ITEMNO must be a positive integer starting with 0. SEQUENCE and ATTRIBUTE must be a tag, written e. g. "(0010,0010)" or as a dictionary name, e. g. "PatientName". If the path cannot be fully created (see option createIfNecessary), any possibly object changes are reverted. So a path is either fully created or no path component is created at all. The result can be obtained by calling the getResults() function.
Example: The path "ContentSequence[4].(0040,a043)[0].CodeValue" selects the Content Sequence in the given item, therein the 5th item, therein the "Concept Name Code Sequence" denoted by (0040,a043), therein the first item and finally therein the tag "Code Value". The resulting object list should (if success is returned) contain 1 result, consisting of a list with 5 pointers to 5 objects in the order in their logical order as they occur in the path string (in total 2 sequences, 2 items, and one leaf attribute).
| item | [in] The object to search (or create) a path in | |
| path | [in] The path starting with an attribute (either a sequence or a a leaf attribute) as a dicitionary name or tag. The parsed attribute is removed from the path string. |
| OFCondition DcmPathProcessor::findOrCreateSequencePath | ( | DcmSequenceOfItems * | seq, | |
| OFString & | path | |||
| ) | [protected] |
Function that allows for finding and/or inserting a hierarchy of items and attributes as defined by a path string; also returns a list of pointers for each sucessfully found or inserted paths.
Every list contains pointers pointing to all the objects along the path starting from the object given as parameter. The pointer to the starting object will not be part of the result.
In principle, the path string must have the following format (in arbitrary depth). [ITEMNO].SEQUENCE[ITEMNO].ATTRIBUTE . ITEMNO must be a positive integer starting with 0. SEQUENCE and ATTRIBUTE must be a tag, written e. g. "(0010,0010)" or as a dictionary name, e. g. "PatientName". If the path cannot be fully created (see option createIfNecessary), any possibly object changes are reverted. So a path is either fully created or no path component is created at all. The result can be obtained by calling the getResults() function.
Example: The path "[4].(0040,a043)[0].CodeValue" selects the 5th item in the given sequence, therein the "Concept Name Code Sequence" denoted by (0040,a043), therein the first item and finally therein the tag "Code Value". The resulting object list should (if success is returned) contain 1 result, consisting of a list with 4 pointers to 4 objects in the order in their logical order as they occur in the path string (in total 1 sequence, 2 items, and one leaf element).
| seq | [in] The object to search (or create) a path in | |
| path | [in] The path starting with an item. The parsed item number (e. g. "[0]") is removed from the path string. |
| static OFCondition DcmPathProcessor::deleteLastElemFromPath | ( | DcmObject * | objSearchedIn, | |
| DcmPath * | path, | |||
| DcmPathNode * | toDelete | |||
| ) | [static, protected] |
Helper function that looks at the last node in a given path and deletes the corresponding DICOM object.
Does not delete the path node itself: That is done by the calling function, findOrCreateItemPath().
| objSearchedIn | [in/out] The object the given path starts in. | |
| path | [in/out] The complete path to the DICOM object to delete | |
| toDelete | [in/out] The path node to delete. This node must be identical to the last node in the path parameter. Also the node must represent a DICOM sequence or leaf element, not an item. However, because it is isolated already by the calling function, it is provided here for convenience. |

| void DcmPathProcessor::clear | ( | ) | [protected] |
Cleans up memory that was allocated for any search results.
Called when a new search is started or during object destruction. The DICOM data all freed paths and path nodes point to, is not touched, ie. all memory to the DICOM objects pointed to must be freed from outside. Processing options like checking for private reservations and so on are not reset to default values but keep valid.
