Hi All, I am using a modbus node to grab 10 registers and I want to spilt the array and tag each register so I can further work with the data. Simply splitting it doesn't tag each part so I know what I am working with.

This seems like it would be easy but I can figure it out thus far.

`node-red-contrib-buffer-parser` will do this for you.

Check the built in examples (CTRL-I --\> examples --\> node-red-contrib-buffer-parser)

Read the [read me](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-buffer-parser)

and read the built in node-help inside node-red.

Also, there are a ton of posts on the forum (search buffer parser)
