Loop in function node don´t send all topics into sqlite database

[ZsomborPiros]

Hi, i want to safe key-value pairs in a database. Because i dont found some options i integrated sqlite in my flow. My problem is the function node doesn´t send all topics. When i inject i should have 111 entries but it is always like 20 random entries from the pool. I have to inject like 30 times to get the whole pool of key-value pairs in my sqlite table. I think the messages are sent to fast, so it cant be safed. Can someone tell me how i can fix this issue?

This is my funcion node:

var b= Buffer.from(msg.payload);

if(b[0]== 0x7c && b[1]== 0x4 && b[2]== 0x4 && b[3] == 0x60){ return null;
}else{
    
for(i =0; i< b.length ; i++){
    if(b[i] == 0x7c && b[i+1] == 0x06){
      
       var busnummer = b[i+4];
       var wert = b[i+5];
        
     
    var topic="INSERT INTO BUS(BUSNUMMER,WERT) values("+"\'"+busnummer+"\'"+","+"\'"+wert+"\'"+")";
    msg.topic=topic;
      return msg
    }
}

The problem is due to the fact you have the return statement in the middle of the loop.

That will exit the function as soon as it reaches that point - so your loop never loops more than once.

As you want to send multiple messages, you should use node.send() inside the loop, instead of return:

var newMsg = { topic: "INSERT INTO BUS(BUSNUMMER,WERT) values("+"\'"+busnummer+"\'"+","+"\'"+wert+"\'"+")" }
node.send(newMsg);

Don't you also want an i=i+5 after the node.send() to stop it checking all the bytes you have just picked up data from?
