"77"

```

As I understand it, you just want the "77" from the above output, which as you noted is a string. I had a similar question and I learned you can use a change node, regex, or match to 'extract' the value you want. See [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/split-string-into-text-and-integers/49889/8).
