I’m using the code below in a workflow that splits and imports data sent out via the Particle.io integration.
I’m splitting incoming data using the “:” Semicolon.
Can I change the Semicolon “:” to something else like the asterisk “*” ?
The reason I ask is because I’m trying to import a formatted time string but the semicolon’s in the time cause issues with the importing since I’m separating the imported string data via Semicolons.
Separating data in a string via something other than the Semicolon should fix the problem.
I’m currently importing time in UNIX format but don’t see any easy way to reformat that to a human-readable format.
If you were to have data come in separated by asterisks, you would still be able to utilize split and keep your timestamp together in the Function Node.
And while were on the Time subject, is there a easy to use piece of code that would allow a simple conversion of UNIX time to a more easy to understand format?
I should have included previously, you can also use the String Node with the split operation if you would like to use it in place of the Function Node.
You can easily format dates using the Date/Time Node, and you can also specify a format using Moment.js (such as YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ) and even a timezone.
