Yes, probably. In the .ReaperOSC configuration file you use (*not* the Default.ReaperOSC file !!!), change the number of tracks that make up a 'bank':
Code:
DEVICE_TRACK_COUNT 8
... to something like:
Code:
DEVICE_TRACK_COUNT 1024
(or more, if you're that kind of guy.
)

Hmm, the workaround you use (looking at the 'binary' message patterns) sort of works, but not in corner cases (e.g. with multiple selected tracks, unselecting the last selected track, it does not show the last selected track anymore...). I figure it would needs something like a stack to remember the order in which tracks have been selected to make it bug-proof.
But, in any case, I still would like to know
how to get an integer value from a numeric parameter value sent as a string... because that's also what I want to do in OSCII-bot (v0.2) scripts, but I can't seem to figure out how to do so.
As with LugNut/Veto's example above, the more general issue is that REAPER's OSC Console Surface feature outputs some important *numeric* values as *strings*: e.g. last selected track number, track bank number, parameter bank number, last touched effect track number, last touched effect slot number. (Afaik we're not able to get these numbers as int (or float) values directly. This seems to be by design; I would suppose it is to accommodate displaying the values in e.g. OSC control apps for touch screen devices. Perhaps I should also request some enhancements to the OSC Control Surface implementation, but I guess that's a separate issue...)
Can anyone show some simple example code for OSCII-bot that extracts an int value from a string (which contains only that value), sent as parameter of an OSC message by REAPER? For example, for this action description / pattern (as in Default.ReaperOSC):
Code:
TRACK_NUMBER s/track/number/str
There are some comments in Justin's sample_script.txt example (included in OSCII-bot v0.2 download) which seem relevant:

// oscparm(x,v) will get parameter value x, setting v to $'f', $'i', $'s', or 0 if invalid, etc. if $'s', you can get individual chars from the string using ((str_offs<<16) + parm_idx)

... which seems to be what I need, but I can't seem to figure out how to actually use this to extract an int value from a parameter which is (formatted as) a string.
Can anyone give a little demonstration?
Btw:

I guess OSCII-bot does not have something like this (yet)?
