Expand Byte Vector

This node splits the Byte Vector to integer columns.

The Create Byte Vector node generates name information as column metadata. You can use that information in this node.

Options

Byte vector column: The column containing the byte vectors to expand into individual integer columns.
Remove original column: If checked, the selected byte vector column will be removed from the output table.
Use the column names specified in properties: If checked and the byte vector column contains element name metadata (e.g. from the Create Byte Vector node), those names are used as output column names instead of the generated prefix-based names.
Prefix of output columns: New column names start with this prefix followed by a numeric index.
Start index for the first new column: The numeric part of the generated column names will start from this index.
Maximum number of new columns: The maximum number of output columns to generate. Byte vector values at positions beyond this limit will be omitted from the output table.
