Weather Underground RegExp

Post by SCR »

I'm a long time lurker and try to figure things out on my own but this error in the log file is beyond me to resolve.

Due to the intermittent problems with the weather.com data disappearing in my location I'm moving on to Weather Underground's API to a neighbors Personal Weather Station.

My actual weather skin is rather large so TestWuWeather is just an example to demonstrate the issue. If required I will pack up TestWuWeather including the icons, once I figure out how to do it.

The following appears in the log twice when the skin is loaded or refreshed.
Error: TestWuWeather\TestWuWeather.ini C:\Users\SCR\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\TestWuWeather\@Resources\Images\WuWeatherIcons\.gif

After the initial loading of the .ini the skin works as expected, no additional errors on Update.

I have come to the conclusion, right or wrong, that it has to do with the way I have constructed the RegExp.

RegExp is difficult for me to say the least. Any help eliminating the errors would be appreciated.

The first: Try this

Code: Select all

FinishAction=[!EnableMeasureGroup WuWeatherTest][!UpdateMeasureGroup WuWeatherTest][!UpdateMeter *][!ReDraw]
The second: correct [WuMeterLastUpdate with [WuMeterLastUpdate]

Thanks for the reply Free Raider. Unfortunately adding both did not remove the .gif errors from the log file. I should have had both in there.

Thanks Free Raider it did indeed solve the problem. I'm not sure why thou O.O

I will have about 16 icons that will show at different times in the WuWeather skin I'm creating. Each shows the error twice on load or refresh. That's a lot of errors.

I assume I will have to edit all the icon Display meters in a like matter. Is this a correct assumption

On Edit: Make that 16 icons
