So I’m trying to import text from QLab to OSC Pilot, but the address is a wildcard, like this `/cue/*/currentFileTime`  
Now, OSC Pilot doesn’t seem to like \* as inputs in the address. Is there a way to fix it?

Also, I seem to be stuck on that, how can I make a label widget display text automatically?

The \* is a pattern matching feature (that we don’t yet support). You wouldn’t put it in the OSC Address of the widget, since the \* is used to match multiple widgets /cue/A/currentFileTime and /cue/B/currentFileTime, for example.  
Since we don’t support \* yet, you’d need to give the widget a complete address, and reference that address directly.
