The TX product might have something specific but here you'll need to roll your own. From Googling, 'HL7' is Health Level 7 and the answer looks like it will depend on what version files you have to process.

Version 3 seems to be XML so should be possible. Version 2 "mostly uses a proprietary (non-XML) encoding syntax based on delimiters" so would be more difficult.
