Recycle manager help

[Sunspot2]

I give up.
Been trying to do this for myself, but cannot figure out how to solve this:

I have a recycle bin config that shows:

"No Items to Recycle" when the trash is empty
"1 Item to Recycle" when there's 1 item in the trash
"X Items to Recycle" when there's X items in the trash

I got this from the topic http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2783

But the Substitute="0":"" part give me the problem that when i have 10 items in the Trash i got the message "1 Items to Recycle"
Been trying to solve this by myself for days, but i really need help, cannot solve it on my own.
Anybody can give me some hints?

[JpsCrazy]

I have no idea how to fix it, but I'm guessing there's just not enough space for it to show. Does 11 or more work?

[Sunspot2]

yep, even "358 Items" shows, but 360 shows as "36 Items"

It's because of the -- Substitute="0":""

I dont know how to make valid for value equal 0, and invalid for value above 0

[smurfier]

Substitute does not match the whole number, but every single character, and also matches in order.
Try: Substitute="000":"000","00":"00","10":"10,"20":"20","30":30","40":"40","50":"50","60":"60","70":"70","80":"80","90":"90","0":""

Problem is that this will not work for numbers such as 306. As far as I know, there is no easy way.

You will need a separate meter for "No Items To Recycle." Start it hidden. On your measure that gets the file count use

Code: Select all

IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Meter that displays filecount][!RainmeterShowMeter No Items Meter]
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute (use the reverse of the above)

Remove the Substitute.

[Sunspot2]

Tried both ways and when it's empty it shows "0 No Items to Recycle"
I also tried to add:

IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter RecycleMeter][!RainmeterShowMeter NoItemsMeter][!RainmeterRedraw]
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter NoItemsMeter][!RainmeterShowMeter RecycleMeter][!RainmeterRedraw]

and to remove Substitute, didnt worked

[dragonmage]

Post the code here between

Code: Select all

 tags please

This is the code after your sugestion:

Get rid of the substitute on [MeasureBin]. Then, add a new calc measure:

Code: Select all

[MeasureBinNoZero]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(MeasureBin=0?(-1):MeasureBin)
Substitute="-1":""

Then, under [RecycleMeter] change "MeasureName=MeasureBin" to "MeasureName=MeasureBinNoZero".

What that statement does is check if MeasureBin is zero. If it is, it makes the value -1. Otherwise, it keeps the value of MeasureBin. Then you can safely substitute "-1" away since it's impossible to have a negative number of items in the recycle bin.
