In a variable I get a string via OSC
For Example “Shine on you Crazy Diamond”
The " is part the OSC parameter it Get.
How can I strip of the " ?
I tried ReplaceString(
But I had no luck to give " as 2nd parameter
After some investigation, this seems to work:
v = ReplaceString(OSC_GetArgAsString(m, 0), <<<">>>,"",false)

Hmm, that GetArgAsString should not be including quotes.
The M4L patch I am using sends this messages:
or this (when the song name only contains 1 word)
Yes but that shouldn’t be showing up with the quotes when it arrives……the quotes should be getting pulled out
I wonder if other OSC apps are doing this or is M4L adding extra quotes?
I think quotes Are necessary when you want to send for example
One two three four
and One two is the 1st argument and three four is the 2nd argument
I confirm there are no quotes in my RME OSC GPScripts.
So when you send a string message out, there are no quotes on the receiving end, right?
Yes but those quotes are a function of the language being used to specify that “this represents a string”
The quotes themselves are not part of the string and should not be included in the message being sent out — you should probably report that as a bug
You are absolutely right ….

Seriously though – the other application should not be including quotes – you should report it as a bug.
OK, investigated:
The M4L patch is working as designed:
There is an observer to report the actual selected live scene and it seems that the scene name is enclosed by " when there are spaces in the song name.
So I should remove those " before sending it out via udpsend.
Exactly! (In my case TotalMix FX is the sender and GP the receiver)
