Hi Kas,

Thanks, if this works that’s fine with me a  ftos or .toString() would be even better of course ;)

Greetings,

Tom

Tom;

A different question I now have is, how do I convert a float to a string? Haven’t been able to find this in the documentation/examples… :(

Strangely casting doesn't work (I feel it should). This works though;

3 => float foo;

string bar;

foo +=> bar;

<<<bar>>>; 

That's more or less a implicit cast.

We can also make it a bit nicer and create a function that you could use inside of the creation of your OSC messages;

//Float TO String converter

fun string ftos(float arg)

    {

    string bar;

    arg +=> bar;

    return bar;

    }

//trivial test

<<<ftos( 123.45 ) >>>; 

I still feel the lack of a real cast for this is a missing feature though. And I'd like to be able to overload the cast operation.

Yours,

Kas.
