i already made a few for you .... the first 3 items ... you have to make the rest of the 25 your self...

Wonderful.
I was just trying something with your first post and at least got one data "15000" lol.
I didn't know we have to set all parameter to regexp.Also have to set all childs!!
Tough stuff but I gonna try your sample.

I've been trying to edit retrieved data via lua script but my script doesn't work well.
Finally I retrieved data what I want into lua but I can't edit those data.
Foe example, my gsub searching for rainmeter "variable name" but "value".
I wanna gsub retrieved data by lua script.

function Update()
	num = num+1
	--v = SKIN:GetMeasure("MeasureRetrieve"):GetValue()
	v = SKIN:GetVariable("RetrievedData")
	if num < 5 then
		v = num.."s-string.len["..string.len(v).."]"..v

GetStringValue() solved the problem.

SKIN:GetMeasure("MeasureRetrieve"):GetStringValue()

Thank you for the help.
