Hello Node-Red-Community,

I have some difficulties to make a solution for the following topics:

- Make a new JS object with names and values for each line (combined with the header object)

I get objects from a machine.  
The machine outputs the content 1 three times: _(always the same)_

```auto
{"ASYS":{"ALIVE_RES":[{"$":{"s_source":"077591","s_type":"AES03 Speed","l_msgCount":"0"}}]}}

```

After this the machine outputs 3 contentes for each line:  
**Line 1**  
`{"ASYS":{"WARNING":[{"$":{"l_warningNb":"21","l_come":"0","s_warningText":"","l_lane":"1","l_value1":"0","l_value2":"0","l_magazineWidth":"0"}}]}}`

**Line 2**  
`{"ASYS":{"WARNING":[{"$":{"l_warningNb":"21","l_come":"0","s_warningText":"","l_lane":"2","l_value1":"0","l_value2":"0","l_magazineWidth":"0"}}]}}`

**Line 3**  
`{"ASYS":{"WARNING":[{"$":{"l_warningNb":"21","l_come":"0","s_warningText":"","l_lane":"3","l_value1":"0","l_value2":"0","l_magazineWidth":"0"}}]}}`

I wanna have the the content of each Machine-line additional the content of the first object:

**s\_source:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**s\_type:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**l\_msgCount:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**l\_warningNb:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**l\_come:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**s\_warningText:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**l\_lane:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**l\_value1:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**l\_value2:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_  
**1\_magazineWidth:** _value (if no value, just nothing)_

For me I tried several days to find a solution to make it in a function node, but my program skills are really bad, even though it looks so easy 😕

On top, there is sometimes a message in the line "s\_warningText" which looks like:  
`{"ASYS":{"WARNING":[{"$":{"l_warningNb":"2086","l_come":"1","s_warningText":"00:00 Restlaufzeit, 2 Restkapazit�t, Vorwarngrenze erreicht.","l_lane":"3","l_value1":"0","l_value2":"2","l_magazineWidth":"0"}}]}}`

In the word "Restkapazit�t it should be "ae" instead the "�", so my idea is to search the for _"Restkapa"_ delete 5 characters and insert _"zitaet"_

I hope someone could help me 😃

If some more information are missing, please let me know.

Greetings  
Michael

May be not the most elegant way - but may it works as you expect it:
