check the java script based osc-unroute object:

http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/patch/4028

i forgot to mention it works best in combination with CNMAT's great  [osc-route] object which uses an OSC based syntax.

very handy

Would this help?

I've used osc-route but ended up using route in most cases (it's a little bit faster) because in most cases I dont use the /../.../.. hierarchy - I just route on one term.

I think the java based osc-unroute was a little slow too. I'm happy with the abstraction I made, I just thought it might make a good object to be included in Max MSP

Mike S - thanks for your patch: that's a clever way of doing it, I'm going to remember that. In fact the sliders were just there to demostrate how the object works: I'm just thinking something like 'funnel' which outputs values but prepended with a textstring rather than a number would be useful.

Cheers!

Peter Elsea has an Lobject to do this - though it doesn't do hover. It's called [Label] but he also refers to it as 'the Great Prepender'.

Excellent, thanks Richard!

I prepared a little JS as an exercise.

Save below as unroute.js

autowatch = 1; outlets = 1;

if (jsarguments.length > 0) { inlets = jsarguments.length - 1; }

function anything() {

var input = arrayfromargs(messagename, arguments);

var index = inlet;

outlet(0, jsarguments[index + 1], input);

}
