Muhammad welcome to the forum!

First off, do you control the format of the data being sent to Node-RED? If so, you should think about formatting it as a JavaScript object.

If not, you can split that data using the `split` node.

## 

I recommend watching this playlist: [Node-RED Essentials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6). The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.

Actually I suspect the CSV node may be more useful for this, as you can use the template for assigning property names to each "column"
