[PD] [oscparse] parsing address patterns with integers differently

[Frank Barknecht]

Hi Joe,

the "0" in the OSC address part actually is a symbol! All parts of an OSC
address are strings as far as [oscparse] and [oscformat] are concerned.

Try this: 

 [bang(
 |
 [oscformat 0]
 |
 [oscparse]
 |
 [print]

It will print "symbol 0"!

[route 0] is a [route] in "float-mode": It only routes float messages, that's
why it cannot catch symbol-messahes with a numeric symbol data part.

You should be able to work around this by creating a [route] in symbol-mode
and feeding it a symbol-0 to the right inlet like this:

                    [0(
                    |
                    [makefilename %d]
                    |
 [route DUMMY-SYMBOL]

Ciao
