I have my flow collecting a "job number" and other data automatically from a machine, all converted into a CSV using the CSV node and feed to an SMB node to create an Excell file in a shared drive in a server automatically when the job is finished. Node-red is not running on a local PC, the shared drive requires authentication "IP, username, password", therefore I can't use the regular file nodes, anyways the SMB node is set up properly to the point the file is created with a name that I manually enter into the SMB file with no problem at all.
But the idea is that upon each new "job number" the file will be named to that "job number", thus creating the different job number files required automatically. I understand this has to be done in a function node using javascript or JASONata, but I'm not a programmer by any means. So if there's anybody that can help me with this I really appreciated it, it is basically the last step of my project.
Thanks.
