Hi there, I have a dummy inject node that output a string. How can I make it output a new line character? Something like this, but this doesn't work. [image] By not working I mean this in a function node returns -1: msg.payload.search(/\n/) Thanks

Output new line character for Inject Node string

One option would be to use a change node setting the payload to the following JSONata (quotes included):

    "abc\ncde"

The inject node doesn't have the option of JSONata, hence the use of the change node.
