P5OSC Problem: Can only send integers, Doesn't recognise Strings

in Contributed Library Questions • 2 years ago

Hello,

I want to send Strings via UDP to a Processing program I wrote. If I send this string "/led1 10" via UDP to my sketch it recognises that it received a OSC message to /led1 of type int. If I send this message "/led1 hello" to the same Processing sketch it doesn't acknowledge the receipt of a message. If I remove the 1 from the end of /led1 the processing sketch will acknowledge both int and String data type. I need to keep the 1 as it is the LED ID number - it's important for what I am doing.

Does anyone have an idea on what I am doing wrong.

Regards,
David.

with the default event method below you should see both messages, /led1 10 and /led1 hello, being received by processing.

/* incoming osc message are forwarded to the oscEvent method. */
void oscEvent(OscMessage theOscMessage) {
/* print the address pattern and the typetag of the received OscMessage */
print("### received an osc message.");
print(" addrpattern: "+theOscMessage.addrPattern());
println(" typetag: "+theOscMessage.typetag());
}

to distinguish between typetag int and string, use

if(theOscMessage.addrPattern().equals("/led1")) {
if(theOscMessage.typetag().equals("i")) {
println("received /led1 int");
} else if (theOscMessage.typetag().equals("s")) {
println("received /led1 String");
}
}
