OSC isn’t sending a string – that just displays the message. You can just access the path part of the message if that is all that you want to use.

check out [http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/oscP5/examples/oscP5parsing/oscP5parsing.pde](http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/oscP5/examples/oscP5parsing/oscP5parsing.pde)  
to see how to get things out of a message.
