String to Number?

[GTI.H]

Hi,

My WebParser returns me the strings "5:54 AM" and "7:37 PM" and numbers 0 and 0, I need to calculate the difference between these strings.

I could not figure out how to do it, could anyone help?

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureTime1]
Measure=String
String=5:54 AM

[MeasureTime2]
Measure=String
String=7:37 PM

[MeasureTimestamp1]
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=[MeasureTime1]
TimeStampFormat=%#I:%M %p
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureTimestamp2]
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=[MeasureTime2]
TimeStampFormat=%#I:%M %p
DynamicVariables=1

[FormatDif]
Measure=Uptime
SecondsValue=([MeasureTimestamp2:timestamp] - [MeasureTimestamp1:timestamp])
Format=%3!i! Hours %2!02i! Minutes
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterDif]
Meter=String
MeasureName=FormatDif
FontSize=12
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1

Turning the strings into Time measures:

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/time/#TimeStamp
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/time/#TimeStampFormat
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/time/#FormatCodes

Getting the timestamp numbers from the Time measures:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/section-variables/#Timestamp

Formatting the difference in seconds into hours and minutes:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/uptime
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/uptime/#SecondsValue
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/uptime/#Format

Note: Your example does not contain any date information, so the two times must be in the same day.

Amazing!
Direct and complete answer, thank you.
Rainmeter is a success!

I did not imagine that Measure Time could do that much and did not even know Measure Uptime.

Now I can calculate the length of day and night.

How will this be calculated once a day (When the Skin is loaded), can I remove the DynamicVariables = 1?

This will be calculated each time you load or refresh the skin, and each time the WebParser measure(s) go out and get the data you are using.

No, you need all the DynamicVariables=1 options I have in it. That is to support the use of [SectionVariables].

OK boss!
Understood.

Something went wrong for me.

After implementing this code on my Skin:

[MSSunR]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=[MSActualTodayData]
StringIndex=12
UpdateDivider=-1

[MSSunS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=[MSActualTodayData]
StringIndex=13
UpdateDivider=-1

[MSSunRTimestamp]
Group=WPCActualTodayData
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=[MSSunR]
TimeStampFormat=%#I:%M %p
UpdateDivider=-1
DynamicVariables=1

[MSSunSTimestamp]
Group=WPCActualTodayData
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=[MSSunS]
TimeStampFormat=%#I:%M %p
UpdateDivider=-1
DynamicVariables=1

[MSSunDeclinationDayDuration]
Group=WPCActualTodayData
Measure=Uptime
SecondsValue=([MSSunSTimestamp:timestamp] - [MSSunRTimestamp:timestamp])
Format=%3!i!h %2!02i!m
UpdateDivider=-1
DynamicVariables=1

I get errors:

Even so I end up with the correct result in my meter:

While I try to find the reason, suggestions for solutions are very very welcome!

[jsmorley]

I need the whole skin.

[GTI.H]

Are ~ 3200 lines, how could it be done?

[jsmorley]

Just zip it up and attach the .zip file to the message

At a minimum, I need what is in the parent WebParser measure [MSActualTodayData]

I can't help you if I can test your code...

[GTI.H]

Of course, see if it's enough, if not I'll send more or the zip.

My Skin is not ready and I'd like to publish it only after it's done.
