Really? :jawdrop I thought everyone knew and used this...

P.S. By the way, this works for every programming / scripting language Notepad++ can "detect", including Lua (not sure about PowerShell, but it probably works too).

Anyway, you do as you wish. :confused:
Got it. TY :)

I have what I've been looking for. The code needed is as follows;

Code: Select all

Command1=[!SetVariable RDD1 "$UserInput$"][!WriteKeyValue Variables RDD1 "[MeasureInput1]" "#@#ST-TNG-E\Inks\ST-TNG-E.inc"][!Refresh][!Refresh "ST-TNG-E v3\Infrastructure\(Com) Majel\HDDs\Removable Disk" "Removable Disk.ini"]
This is the true line of code I was looking for. It works just like I wanted to. You guys rock :bow: :thumbup:

With that said, I'd like to thank everyone for the help, Thank you, it means so much, now I can move on. :)

In fact the last !Refresh is a little bit incorrect. The !Refresh bang, if you add parameter, requires only one single parameter, not two. This means that you have to add the name of the config (in this case it is ST-TNG-E v3\Infrastructure\(Com) Majel\HDDs\Removable Disk), but no more parameters are required (so you don't have to add the name of the skin's .ini file, in this case Removable Disk.ini). However the bang does work, only because Rainmeter ignores any additional parameter.

You're correct. But both ways work. :o I'll decide later how to precceed with that new info.

Also, that key combo CTRL+Q works without the Rainlexer software.
