Having Trouble with substring with the code below. The string is coming through correctly, the comma locations are identified, but it seems to hang before extracting substrings. On the console, the last message I get is " {“data”:“6”,“ttl”:“60”,“published_at”:“2017-02-11T14:09:51.191Z”,“coreid”:“1e0026001247343339383037”,“name”:“Comma Index 2 Set”}"
I’m sort of stuck… I’ve used this same method in another script without issue, so I’m unsure of why it’s hanging now.
This is on a Photon running V.6 of the firmware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
