Substitute StringIndex of a WebParser

[PaladínOscuro]

Hello everyone. I have been trying to create my own weather skin, but I need a substitute rule I am not sure how to address or where to put it since it is not working in either the Weather measure or the string meter.

Code: Select all

[Tiempo]
Measure=WebParser
URL=[PaginaWeb]
StringIndex=3
;This is the temperature I need, comes in the format "17°C", I need only the number 17...

;The substitute I need to use, but unsure where to put it...
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^(\d{2})(.*)":"\1"

[Cadena]
Meter=String
MeasureName=?
AntiAlias=1

Thanks so much for all your help in advance.

Substitute always belongs to a measure, never to a meter (docu)
Your substitution is correct, but only for positive, 2-digit temperatures (from 10 to 99 degrees ; the \d{2} means "exactly 2 digits").
if you want negative temperatures as well, which would come, let's say, with an optional minus-sign, the regex should be:

Code: Select all

Substitute="^(-?\d+).*":"\1"

But this still don't handle fractional values...

Another solution for example:

Code: Select all

[MeasureString]
Measure=String
String="-15.34°C"
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="(.*)\.(\d{1,}).*":"\1.\2"

[MeterString]
Meter=String
Text=[MeasureString]

I wouldn't fight the decimals...

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=100
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureString]
Measure=String
String=17°C
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^(.*)°.*$":"\1"

[MeterString]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureString
FontSize=11
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1

Just skip everything after a ° is seen...

In my experience, temperature values in Fahrenheit seldom are returned with any decimal places, but those in Celsius sometimes are.

Thank you so much for all your answers. I live in a tropical city so temperatures only vary between 15 and 29°C but I still appreciate all the help.

what would be the best way to separate content of a StringIndex such as 7 of 10?
The two numbers are necessary (as integers ofc), while the text between isn't. The text is not fixed.

A regular expression substitution. For instance supposing that a following kind of measure is returning the 7 of 10 string, add the following two measures:

Code: Select all

[MeasureReturningString]
Measure=
...

[MeasureNumber1]
Measure=String
String=[MeasureReturningString]
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^(\d*) .* (\d*)$":"\1"
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureNumber2]
Measure=String
String=[MeasureReturningString]
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^(\d*) .* (\d*)$":"\2"
DynamicVariables=1

As I hope you've figured it out, [MeasureNumber1] is returning the first number (that before of), while [MeasureNumber2] obviously is returning the other number (placed after of).

I was close, but forgot to put RegExpSubstitute into the measure.
Thanks!

Very important! As you've seen it doesn't work if you don't set it properly. Glad if you got it working.
