Good Day

I have an array of integers and I would like to release each element of the array every second as payload msg from the node.

task is similar to this: [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/node-red/ft1Vrrp9qPE](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/node-red/ft1Vrrp9qPE)

Kind Regards

Just use a split node followed by a delay node and set the delay node to rate limit 1 msg/sec

My issue with that is that the array has about 50k values n having 50k outputs of a split node ?? Let me try and see..

Thanks
