parsing issue

[Adrian Fretwell]

Trying to extract data with function works with all objects in file (attached) excluding those with a hyphen  E-Total E-Month E-Today. 

The E becomes highlighted when creating the function

Is there a solution.

Regards Adrian

Can you supply the function you are using?

If you are using code like msg.payload.E-total then that won't work as the minus sign will be taken to be the subtraction operator. Instead use

msg.payload["E-total"]

The dot syntax is a shorthand for ["attribute"]

Thanks for the quick response Colin and Paul.  The bracketed quotes works
