How to parse EDIfact file containing multiple items using EDI.Net?

Question

I am using EDI.Net from indice-co and i have a EDI file that contains multiple items, when i use the EdiGrammer.NewEdiFact and read the file using stream and deserialize it I get only 1 item from the file, the top most; how do i read the file using stream and deserialize it to a list?

Code Example:

 var editFactParser = EdiGrammar.NewEdiFact();




        var interchange = default(EdiModel.Interchange);
        using (
            var stream = File.Open("E:\\SomePath\\20191121020103.00000091.EDI", FileMode.Open,
                FileAccess.Read))
        {
            interchange = new EdiSerializer().Deserialize<EdiModel.Interchange>(new StreamReader(stream),
                editFactParser );
        }

1.- Can you share your POCO class? 2.- Can you specify which segment is the one that is multiple times, there are plenty in a EDI message, but for example the UNH can be only once, if that is the one that is multiple times the edi message might be wrong. — Nekeniehl
Hi have you managed to resolve this? This seems to be an issue with the segment terminators not being picked up correctly — cleftheris

sorry for the late reply, i was able to solve it, it was an issue how with how i was accessing the segments and what data i was trying to get back, after some more trail and error i was able to figure it out, i currently do not have access to the code and will try and post it back here when i get to it. Thank you.
