Hello,  
I have datas from sensor (temperature, lignt, humidity, etc.) that are received in a node-red function with this code :

> var split = msg.payload.split("\r");  
> var Humidity = parseInt(split[1].slice(12, split[1].length-1));  
> var Pressure = (parseInt(split[2].slice(11, split[2].length-1))/100).toFixed(0);  
> var Temperature = parseFloat(split[3].slice(15, split[3].length-1)).toFixed(1);  
> var Light = parseInt(split[4].slice(9, split[4].length-1));  
> var Noise = parseFloat(split[5].slice(9, split[5].length-1)).toFixed(2);
> 
> var txt = split[5].slice(9, split[5].length-1);
> 
> var msg0 = {payload:Humidity};  
> var msg1 = {payload:Pressure};  
> var msg2 = {payload:Temperature};  
> var msg3 = {payload:Light};  
> var msg4 = {payload:Noise};
> 
> var msg5 = {payload:txt};  
> [//msg.payload](https://msg.payload) = Humidity  
> return [msg0, msg1, msg2, msg3, msg4, msg5];

Then they display in a dashboard.

But I want to have them in a .txt file, together in the same file.

Something like that :

22 78 1  
23 78 2  
22 80 1  
22 79 1  
24 78 2  
22 79 1  
etc...

So I can put them in excel after.

I am a node-red newbie, so I put the "file storage", connected all the msg0, msg1, msg2, msg3, msg4, msg5 to that file storage, but the result is not like above, any idea ?

thanks !

I think there are probably some simplifications that could be made, could you add a debug node showing what is going into your function node and show us what is there?
