Why does this

Many thanks in advance

It works like I would expect, unless I'm misunderstanding your intent:

Chris - thanks for taking a look, see my update - the whole thing comes from fromsymbol which does nothing but remove leading and trailing quotes. When connected directly to route it seems to dump everything out the first outlet, whereas when I write to a message and bang the message it works OK. Sorry I didnt include the whole thing in the first post.

Thanks again

Joe
