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 itis '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.
zexy's [symbol2list] was designed to allow something like this.
iirc, the new [text] object will allow you to build something like this in Pd-vanilla.
