thanks. I did it for now using splitfilename, s2l and unpack.

Here's a way using zexy/s2l and l2s (see attached). Or you could use some of the objects from jasch_lib + cyclone/fromsymbol.

From: João Pais jmmmpais@googlemail.com Subject: [PD] manipulation of symbols? To: "PD-List" pd-list@iem.at Date: Monday, November 1, 2010, 8:01 PM Hi,

is there any object that allows a more extended manipulation of symbols? For example, I have symbols with the format 1234-56-78_12-23.aaa, and I wanted to get only the floats inside, and use them on mathematics. For now, the only way I see to do that is to use several [splitfilename -], until all the individual elements are separated. Or is it possible to do that with sprintf?

Thanks,

João
