IfMatch What Am I Doing Wrong here?

[Mor3bane]

Hello, I am trying to use xxenium's weather - or rather a small portion of it to compare a decimal value from 0.1 to 100.0 it is percentile but I am fairly sure the string is just the decimal value. But now that I think of it, it could be a string then using <>= would be moot.

Here is the ini:

Currently moon is 0.xx % for quick reference but it changes by 0.0XX roughly every hour-ish.

DynaMoon_0.01.rmskin

The basic idea is to use the percentile to manage the image showing a division of 24 images based on moon visible percentile.
So I'm just brain dead or something.. can't get the first image to show?

You can't use formulas in IfMatch.

IfMatch uses regular expression on the string contents of the measure it is on. It's an entirely different animal than IfCondition.

Oh maaaan!

Code: Select all

IfCondition=([MeasureMoonPercent] <= 1.5)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterMoonPNG ImageName "2.png"]

This works. Thanks jsmorley

Sure thing...

Just as an aside, you can avoid DynamicVariables=1 on this measure by not using the [] brackets around the measure name in the IfCondition. Since IfCondition is always "numeric", it can and does assume that any reference to a measure name is the current number value of the measure, and so using it as a [SectionVariable] is not required.

Code: Select all

IfCondition=(MeasureMoonPercent <= 1.5)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption MeterMoonPNG ImageName "2.png"]

You would only use the [] brackets if you wanted to use the string value of the measure, say if you had done a Substitute on it to turn "Nine" into "9" or some such. Then you would need DynamicVariables=1.

This is true of the Formula option in a Calc measure and any IfCondition[N] option. Those are the two places that MUST be numeric.
