Remove quote while writing binary file from JSON

[Trolland]

Describe the problem/error/question

Hello,
I am trying to write a new binary file after converting a JSON string object into a binary one. Unfortunately, the quotes delimitating the string in the JSON object are also converted in the binary object and I don’t want that. How can I remove them ? Is it a parameter in the Convert to/from binary node ? Or in the write binary file ?

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @Trolland, welcome to the community!

Are you looking to just write the string from your hl7Message field into a file, without anything else (especially no quotes)? If so, you’re probably looking for the “Use Raw Data” option.

Here’s a quick example workflow:

The result would not include any quotes around the string.

Hope this helps! If that’s not it, perhaps you can confirm how you want your result file to look like?
