Hi!
is it possible to delete all characters from the last space?
Here's an example.
O ring set IFW140-05
Flywheel Tapered Collet Set IFW143B
Shock Boots IFW154
and this is what it should look like when it's done.
IFW140-05
IFW143B
IFW154

Hi @madmax !
Using a function node assuming each string arrives separately as a msg.payload, you could split each string to an array and then return the last element of the array:
```auto
let productArray = msg.payload.split(" ")
let productID = productArray[productArray.length - 1]
msg.payload = productID
return msg
```
