Using measure result as a variable name (variable variable)

[sladek]

Hi, i'm trying to do something like this:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
wifi1=69000
wifi2=4200
...

[MsNetworkName]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WiFiStatus
WiFiInfoType=SSID
IfCondition=MsNetTotal > #[MsNetworkName]#
IfTrueAction=[!WriteKeyValue....

The IfCondition should check if the total net traffic (in B/s) is higher that a total net traffic saved in a variables. If so, it should save it into the variable so i can get the maximum B/s achieved on this network.
But i want to do that for multiple networks, so i need the variable to be "variable" and change depending on the network i am connected to right now.

I tried:

• #[MsNetworkName]#
  #[&MsNetworkName]#
  #*[MsNetworkName]*#
  #[MsNetworkName:]#
  #([MsNetworkName])#
  #(MsNetworkName)#

and everything returns syntax error.

The solution i came with is

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=[!SetOption MsNetworkName IfCondition "MsNetTotal > #*[MsNetworkName]*#"]

in the [Rainmeter] section, it needs to be refreshed on a network change and it isn't "nice". So I'm looking for a better ways.

Any suggestions?

You can't embed [SectionVariables] in #Variables#. it just won't work.

Perhaps something like:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
wifi1=69000
wifi2=4200

[MsNetTotal]
Measure=Calc
Formula=5000

[MsNetworkName]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WiFiStatus
WiFiInfoType=SSID

[msNetworkSpeed]
Measure=String
String=[MsNetworkName]
Substitute="wifi1":"#wifi1#","wifi2":"#wifi2#"
DynamicVariables=1
IfCondition=[msNetTotal] > [msNetworkSpeed]
IfTrueAction=[!Log "It's greater"]
IfFalseAction=[!Log "It's less"]

I think this will work.
