I am using
terser.get("/.OBX-3-1")); to access OBX parent segment. How to get to child OBX segments using terser
Answer
OBX is nested inside an OBSERVATION group (which in return is nested in other groups). Actually, not the OBX segment is repeatable but the OBSERVATION group is. So your terser expression would be something like terser.get("/.OBSERVATION(i)/OBX-3-1");, where in your case i runs from 0 to 3.
