I use a serialport Node to receive ascii messages from an rs232 power inverter.  
Everything works fine and I got informations in one payload string:

```auto
00.00.0000 01:21:40 3 124.9 0.23 29 236.2 0.12 28 23

```

Now I want to seperate each value into one payload object. Like payload.voltage, payload.power etc

My js knowledge is limited and I absolutely have no idea how to split this string.

I appreciate your help,  
Sebastian

And you already entered "split" into the forum search and nothing came up...

Yes, i googled a lot. But the values are not separated by commas to tabs but spaces of Individual length.
