[FIXED] How can i seperate/split part of string messege in node red

Issue

I received this message:

 "data: "{"cmd":"gw","seqno":515816,"EUI":"000DB53113683569","ts":1510584501221,"fcnt":1,"port":2,"freq":868100000,"toa":1482,"dr":"SF12 BW125 4/5","ack":false,"gws":[{"rssi":-71,"snr":9.5,"ts":1510584501221,"time":"2017-11-13T14:48:21.218869Z","gweui":"B827EBFFFF6A14DD","lat":50.0751806,"lon":14.4022641}],"bat":255,"data":"0002560000000000000000"}"" 

I need to put away the "data: " and on the end the "

I need just the JSON message if I use JSON node it just writes me an error because of the "data: "

Solution

You can use a function node to chop the string up. Something like this:

msg.payload = msg.payload.substring(7,msg.payload.length - 1);
return msg;

And then wire this to a JSON node.

[FIXED] Node red with lamp stack?

Issue

i've installed a xamp stack onto a raspberry pi and it is collecting data from 5 arduino sensors. My question is can i also install node-red into my raspberry pi to help me with creating the IoT dashboard for the client side?

Will there be any collision or interference between my lamp stack and nodered?

I am using raspbian buster lite

Solution

There should be no interaction between the a LAMP stack and Node-RED out of the box.
