Hello everyone, I am currently exploring Node-RED and wondering if anyone has experience with the SMB share add-on. I have set up a flow that generates a CSV file and saves it to a shared directory. However, I am unsure how to specify the filename for the save operation as a string variable obtained from my controller. Can anyone provide guidance on this? Thank you.

Hello, happy to help with your Node-RED exploration! When you're sending a filename to the SMB share node, you can specify it using the `msg.filename` property. Keep in mind, this should be a string that specifies the filename including any relevant directory path. For example, if you have a filename stored in `msg.payload.filename`, you can use a change node before the SMB share node to set `msg.filename` to `msg.payload.filename`. This way, your controller-defined filename will be used when saving the CSV file. Hope this clears up your confusion! Let us know if you have further questions.
Absolutely, I'd be happy to help. It sounds like you are almost there. In Node-RED, when you set up the file node to write the CSV file, you should be able to use a function node right before it to set the filename. The filename can be specified using `msg.filename` property in the function node. Just make sure to pass this message to the file node. Your filename string variable should be set in the `msg.filename` path. I hope this brings clarity and helps you progress with your project!
Hey there! I've worked with the SMB share add-on in Node-RED, and for specifying a filename using a string variable, you can use the `msg.filename` property in your flow. Just make sure to set `msg.filename` to the output of your controller before you call the function that saves the CSV. If you're generating the filename dynamically, you can concatenate strings or use template literals to create the full path. Let me know if you need more details or examples!
