Pattern matching

It is possible to control a set of addresses with pattern matching.

For instance, given the following OSC device:

It is possible to send an automation to

OSCdevice:/sub/*/level

to control all the levels with a single curve.

The complete reference of the supported pattern matching syntax is available here.

Examples

• device:/foo/bar
  • Matches device:/foo/bar and nothing else
• device:/foo/bar*
  • Matches device:/foo/bar, device:/foo/bar.100, device:/foo/baron
• device:/{foo,boo}/bar
  • Matches device:/foo/bar, device:/boo/bar
• device:/foo.{5..23}
  • Matches device:/foo.5, device:/foo.6, … to device:/foo.23
  • Won’t match device:/foo.230
• device:/foo.{5..23..7}
  • Matches device:/foo.5, device:/foo.12, foo.17
• device:/foo[a-z]
  • Matches device:/fooa, device:/foob, … device:/fooz
• device:/foo[1-5]
  • Matches device:/foo1, device:/foo2, … device:/foo5
• device://bar
  • Matches device:/foo/bar, device:/foo/bar.123/bar, etc.
• device://bob/../foo
  • Given device:/foo/bob and device:/foo/bar.123/bob, matches device:/foo
• device:/foo!
  • Matches device:/foo, device:/foo.1, device:/foo.123, device:/foo.bob
