I want to conditionally set the value of a flow.context based on the msg.payload value i am able to achieve the same with following, (see first three lines), but is there an easy way (less code/better code) I have a bunch of them to set. PS: the value that is checked is actually a string "__null"…

If all you want to do is replace "_____null" with "________0", would it be simpler just to do a text_output = text_output.replace(/___null/g, "______0"); On the finished report text.

Something like this (or at least for some inspiration) Untested: for(let x=0;x<=10;x++){ let m = x < 10 ? `M0${x}` : 'M10' if (msg[m] == "__null"){ flow.set(`${m}09`, '_____0') } else { flow.set(`${m}09`, msg[m]) } }

Would it not be easier/smarter rather than slicing them to store them as Objects in context store and then just reference each of the values ? Obviously we would need to see the whole incoming message before you slice it - but i am sure one of the JSONATA gurus on here would be able to turn it into…

so I have different data come in from an analog to digital converter. its pressure readings. here is function code that I had help with. this may get you in the correct direction if they are all coming in one message and you need to split and give each part its own message name. let msg0 = {}; …

Would need to understand the incoming data to know if there is an easier way. Here are two ways for(let i = 0; i < 11; i++){ let m = "M" + i.toString().padStart(2, "0"); let m9 = m + "09"; if (msg[m] === "__null"){ flow.set(m9, "_____0"); }else{ flow.set(m9, msg…

[image] craigcurtin: before you slice it by slicing i mean to use the function slice to get exact number of characters in the output var A00 = ("______" + msg.payload[0].s0).slice(-6); [image] E1cid: Would need to understand the incoming data to know if there is an easier way. the in…

Perfect!. there is always a simpler solution.

[image] smanjunath211: so i added a slice function to get around that to have a visually cleaner report, that i send through mail. is there a better way to align the texts properly ? like a TAB character between words ?

I got the solution here. now the table looks much better. no need for slicing to get same number of digits! [image] Safe tab characters in template nodes? General what editor are you using? ACE or Monaco? In monaco, it may be changing your tabs to spaces automatically (f…
