Hi,
a quick question: I wanted to detect a character in a symbol, in order to route that symbol in a different way. Afaik, there is no object that does that, so the only way would be to decompose the symbol in ascii values, and then detect it.
Btw, this would also be used to decompose the original symbol into several parts (e.g. 123as78 -> 123 as 78). As before, the only way I imagine it would be doable in Pd would be through ascii decomposition.
Any better ideas?
Thanks,
João

you can use [gf/string_replace] to replace one character by any other and then you use [sel] to see whether you get a different symbol.

I've looked into this. I see two problems:
- this would be for the "famous" patch that I'm sending around. Since it's
for non-pd users, I should limit myself to pd-ext objects - or I would
have to ship gridflow with it, which might not be legal (don't know), but
anyway isn't practical.
- I couldn't understand how to go from x/y (x and y being any natural
numbers) to any other string format that I could use with [sel]. as I
understood, string replace doesn't take spaces or expressions like "a " as
parameter. In the cases I'm thinking of, the character to be detected is
always in the middle. For now I'm using charaters / and :, like 7/8 or
1:13.

Don't know if it is what you are looking for. ++

You said you wanted to detect, not split. Replacing a character by a space does not split a symbol in several elements (but it does if you know how to take advantage of pd's traditional bugs). Otherwise use [s2l] or [l2s].

If it's for non-pd users, you should limit yourself to non-pd objects. I mean, if they end up using your patch, they will be some kind of pd user, albeit one that we don't see so often so far.
or I would have to ship gridflow with it, which might not be legal (don't know),
ah, thanks for the feedback. (??)

well, technically they're using pd, even if they don't even know about it.
they'll know even less when the java (processing) gui is done, and pd runs
in -nogui mode.
anyway these are people that don't know about Pd and don't really want to,
they have other priorities.

[routeOSC] can basically do that, since it supports wildcard matching. the only limitation is, that the message's selector has to start with a "/", but that can quite easily be done in vanilla Pd.

Hmm, I couldn't find this. Basically I want a way to detect the difference
between symbols like "4/8" and "4:8". for now, maybe other characters will
come in later.
