Split a string into separate values

[Rysig]

Hello,
I'm new and I'd like to get some help to split a string into separate elements in NodeRed.
As an example,

• my msg.payload is '11110110'
• and I like to get separate data/lines (array) such as 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1 and 0
  Can I do this with "split" and how?
  Thanks again!
  David

You can use the split node to get 8 seperate messages

You can then use the join node to get those into an array

Above solution is perfect. Alternatively you could use below piece of code inside a function node.

msg.payload = [...msg.payload];
return msg;

This way an incoming string will be changed to an array.
