Re: [PD-dev] sendOSC bug - cannot send numeric symbols

Hallo, Claude Heiland-Allen hat gesagt: // Claude Heiland-Allen wrote:

I'm trying to send the symbol output of [makefilename %d] using sendOSC, but it gets sent as a number instead of as a string. If I use [makefilename x%d] it is sent as a string, but I don't want that x there.

How are you sending? You cannot conserve "symbol 2" in a list- or meta-message as in

[4( | [makefilename %d] | [send /test $1( | [sendOSC]

as that would be sending the equivalent of [send /test 4( and your "symbol" is gone before it reaches the [sendOSC]. You could of course send: [send /test symbol 4( though you wouldn't need [makefilename] for that (and it still wouldn't be a string for most apps...)
