I'm having a problem with backslashs on windows and none of the solution I found on the web works in my case:
I have an OSC message that has a path to a file. Something like: "c:\folder\image.jpg"
How can I convert that, in PD, to "c:/folder/image.jpg"? I can't control how the OSC messages are generated...
For example with attached pdlua external (needs pdlua)
You need some kind of external, as it's not possible with pure Pd to split a symbol at a certain character. You could also use something like Zexy's symbol2list for this task - use
[92( | [makefilename %c]
to generate a backslash symbol to feed into s2l's right inlet then.
Using Lua has the big advantage that you can do some more string processing in the same object immediatly and in my experience, once you start with text processing you often need a bit more power anyway, that's why I'd prefer Lua here.
