How can I discard the "/" from a message?

for example, this is my messeage: 1/2 
but i only need the numbers from it.

discard-a-slash-from-a-msg

perhaps there is a more elegant solution, but this does what i think you need

eek regexp, need to learn to use that, would obviously save a lot of time!

// ol.removeslash.js - chop off a forward slash from the end of a symbol

    if(str.charAt(str.length-1) == "/") outlet(0, str.slice(0,-1));

function anything()
{
	var str = messagename;
	if(str.charAt(str.length-1) == "/") outlet(0, str.slice(0,-1));
	else outlet(0, str);
}


while we're at it can someone code this in c and compile an object for him?

You can use [regexp / " "], no need for @substitute, or am i wrong ?
