Data types description

hi,

when using the getinfo messages to a live.object, it returns all properties as being [name] [type].
the property type is being described has being "int", "bool", "float", etc...
the problem is that almost every max objects understand "int" and "float" as being messages to be followed by an integer or a float.

so, how can we use this data description in max easily ? (can't use route, match, select, atoi,...)

cheers,

g

I already reported this problem in this thread :
http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=123907

one solution is using regexp :
[regexp (float) @substitute something_else]
