Is it possible to determine if a message (string) contains a substring in it? For example, I'm sending a message which always has the form osc# or seq#, e.g. osc5, osc7, seq3, seq9. I need to route it in one direction if its an osc, and in another direction if its a seq. I can't use the route object though because of the number -- unless there were some way to strip the number at the end of the string (like by taking only the first 3 chars of the string). Does anyone know how I can do this?
