Help with n8n flow

Describe the problem/error/question

Im attempting to take information from strip, and go into a switch function that then runs ssh based on the result of switch. The code Im trying to follow is from an older version of n8n that uses the text manipulation node, which is no longer available .

/opt/rdio-scanner/rdio-scanner -cmd user-add +ident RCS-SUB_{{ $(‘TextManipulation’).item.json[“Email-Address”] }} +code {{ $(‘TextManipulation’).item.json[“Email-Address”] }} +limit 3 +url http://localhost:4002/

1.54.2
ubuntu 24.04

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Welcome to the community @xxbryantd!

It looks like you did not set the parameter to “Expression” (which means that everything between {{ ... }} gets replaced dynamically) it is rather set to “Fixed” (which means whatever is written there gets used). If you switch over to “Expression” it will probably work.

I cant believe I missed that part… Seems all is working now.
