[PD] parsing filenames

[Dan Neveu]

trying to find a way to take an incoming audio filename from a netreceive 
message and direct different formats to the appropriate player:
  posh.wav -> readsf~
  ginger.mp3 -> mp3play~

i'd like to allow the end user to keep the filename intact and not have to
separate <file / extension> into two messages in order to analyze the
strings.

what would be nice is if select or strcmp had wildcard options (sel *.wav).

ideas?
