Example - Writing data elements to file

extern crate dicom_dictionary_parser as dict_parser;

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::BufWriter;
use std::io::Write;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<::std::error::Error>> {
    let parser = dict_parser::Parser::new()?;
    let data_elements = parser.parse_data_element_registry()?;
    let file = File::create("dictionary.rs")?;
    let mut buf_writer = BufWriter::new(file);
    for data_element in data_elements {
        let upper_case_keyword = data_element
            .keyword
            .replace("\u{200b}", "")
            .replace("__", "_")
            .to_uppercase();

        buf_writer.write_all(
            format!(
                "const {}: Tag = Tag(0x{}, 0x{});\n",
                upper_case_keyword,
                &data_element.tag[1..5],
                &data_element.tag[6..10])
            .as_bytes())?;
    }

    Ok(())
