Substitute="^$":"0","^(.+)$":"\1 B","^0 B$":"No Drive"

Thanks, but nope. I still get 0.00 B

Could it be something to do with InlinePattern?

Oops! Wrong slash
Substitute="^(.+)$":"\1B";"0B":"No Drive"
Close, but now I get 0.00 B displayed. So I tried 0B, 0 B, 0.00B and 0.00 B, still no luck!

Please, put up your glasses, LOL. It's , and not ; ...

Ok, WHERE exactly do you get that? In the measure or in the meter? Cause if it's in the meter, changing the number of decimals (or scale/autoscale below?), if you have such an option, will do.

Try this:

Code: Select all

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

---Measures---

[m1Free]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=M:
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^$":"0","^(.+)$":"\1 B","^0 B$":"No Drive"

---Meters---

[meterDrive]
Meter=String
StringEffect=Shadow
FontEffectColor=0,0,0,50
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontFace=Consolas
FontSize=16
AntiAlias=1
MeasureName=m1Free
Text=Drive: %1
DynamicVariables=1

In the meter, I think.

But that last Substitute is not being treated correctly by the InlinePattern, so I have to remove the spaces...
Substitute="^$":"0","^(.+)$":"\1B","^0B$":"No Drive"

But after doing so, it still doesn't replace the value with the string. Maybe I should just leave the 0.00 GB instead?!

Haha, well, I probably should wear them tbh!

That probably happens because you use the number value of the measure (and not the supposedly correctly modified string value of it), due to the numerical related options like NumOfDecimals or AutoScale in the meter. If you look at the log, the measure value should be fine. Is it?

P.S. I only noticed your code here now...I should put my glasses too, it seems.

I don't understand how the Meter options affect the substitution? Or isn't that what you are saying?

There are no errors in the log if that's what you mean.

That's ok, you're one of the good guys, so I'll forgive you... this time!

Yeah, don't worry, I just tested myself, no need to bother, my suspicion was true. I didn't mean that there should be errors in the log, I only meant that the STRING value of the MEASURE should be what you expect it to be, i.e. "No Drive", but because the METER is using the measure's NUMBER value (due to the numerical related options like NumOfDecimals or AutoScale), you don't get the expected result visually:
