Is it possible to split a formatted symbol such as...
drums_1.wav
...to extract the float '1' and use that to assign a meaningful attribute?

For example a float could represent a loop playback switch.
if I have 'drums_0.wav' I would like to extract the float, find that it
is '0' and then I would know that this WAV file is say, not to be looped.
Or if I had 'drums_1.wav' I would be able to parse the filename, find the '1'
which I now know to loop the WAV file.

Thanks in advance! John
