IfCondition Measure in a range of values

By the way, while it won't hurt anything, you don't need to "escape" the forward slashes in Windows "paths" in a bang. You don't need \\ just \.

There are some times in Lua that you need to escape forward slashes in paths, as when a string is being defined and the \ would be interpreted as an escape character, but in native Rainmeter code it would only ever be needed if a path is being used as a literal in the "if" side of a regular expression Substitute or as a literal in an IfMatch condition. So basically only if and when a path is being used as a literal in a regular expression.

Rainmeter will ignore extra forward slashes in paths in bang and other options, but they really aren't needed.

krakoukas, related to this, in the PS here, are a few details.
