Can you add a debug node (set to display the complete msg object) to where ever you see that and show us what the complete object looks like.

It looks like it is a string on two lines, so you could do it with a `function` node and the javascript string split(). A quick google search will show you how to use it.

And please don't ask the same question in multiple threads. I'll close the other thread now.
