Hi all,
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...
I need to pass it to [pix_image] to load an image, and I tried:
[OSCroute /message] | [unpack s s s] # path is third symbol | |---------- |open $1 ( |---------- | [pix_image]
but I get an "error: GEM: Unable to find file: C:\folder\image.jpg"
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks, jorge

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.

Thanks,
[makefilename %c] worked.
I ended up with this:
[bang]
|
[dumpOSC 999] ------ | | 92 ( [OSCroute /message] ------ | | [unpack s s s] [makefilename %c] | / [symbol2list] | [list2symbol / ] | ------------- | open $1 ( ------------- | [pix_image]
It's not pretty, but it works.
Thanks for the help!

Sorry, just realized that my great ascii work might not display well on some email clients.
The patch is in attachment.
