Dear, Okey, so, i'm very new to programming at all. I am an Amateur Astronomer with building an automated equipment station. Now i'm also trying to use node-RED and dashboard to use it for many control situations, like the wheater, controlling relays etc etc. Okay: my question: I have a file on th…

If you put a join node after the split node set to array you will have an array of individual values so you can reference them by index. [{"id":"6e423ebd.a6bbc","type":"inject","z":"1d66267b.4c5caa","name":"","topic":"","payload":"2019-03-24 21:41:57.00 C K -26.4 7.6 7.6 3.0 59 0.1 54 0 0 00000 043…

Wow, this is a great answer! Indeed what i was looking for! Now, how do i do the reference by index? :slight_smile: , As you can see, i'm no programmer at all unfortunately...

payload[0] is the date payload[1] is the time You get the idea?

Also read the page in the docs about working with messages which will show you how to use tool tips in the debug to find out the correct path

The CSV node may be a better choice in the first place. It can be set to split on space, instead of the default comma, and the "template" line lets you assign the property names to each column so the resulting object is easier to work with.... eg msg.payload.date and so on.

Maybe in the future. But like said, no programming skills, so just need to learn that first... :smile:

Reason why I asked is that if you just developed a "bridge" (node or set of nodes) between NR and ASCOM then bingo :cowboy_hat_face: You would then have access to all the ASCOM developed interfaces, as opposed to inventing what would effectively be a new "api". Just a thought.

Dear, Thank you for your thoughts. Well , like said, i'm really no programmer at all. My equipment itself would be run through ASCOM with build software. But for learning i thought: Node-RED should not be that hard... :slight_smile:, any way. I now use the CSV node, and indeed i get it by Col1 - …
