Lua Script todo.txt

Post by aidayong »

An update to my previous post http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11639 regarding using todo.txt on rainmeter

Basically i have update the lua script for todo.txt that jsmorley(TQ for it) introduce to do the following
a) extract unique context eg. @call @computer @home (something like smartlist)
b) extract unique project eg. +rmtr +inbox
c) display number of task based on context eg @office = 25 task
d) display list based on context by leftclick context smartlist

Please mind that it is still raw n i just learn lua code 24 hours ago. So bare with me.

TestDummy.lua

Code: Select all

PROPERTIES =
{
  SettingInSkin = 0;
  
}
function Initialize()

   sFileName = SELF:GetOption('FileName')
   sContext = SKIN:GetVariable('CContext')
   
 end -->Initialize

function Update()
	
   for i = 1, 5 do
      SKIN:Bang('!SetOption Meter'..i..' Text \"\"')
   end
   
   hFile = io.open(sFileName)
   if not hFile then print('File error'); return 'File error'; end 
   io.close(hFile)   
   
	if sContext == '' then SKIN:Bang('!Refresh'); return 'No input'; end
	
    n=0  
    tData = {}   
	for sLine in io.lines(sFileName) do
    n=n+1
	  if string.find(sLine,sContext) then
	    sline2=string.sub(sLine,11) --> remove date position 1-11
	    table.insert(tData,n..")"..sline2) --> insert line number in front
      end
	end
	
		NewNumber = table.getn(tData) --> calc no of line containing context ToDotype
		
	for i = 1, (#tData < 6) and #tData or 5 do
      SKIN:Bang('!SetOption Meter'..i..' Text \"'..tData[i]..'\"')
	end
		
   t2={}
   context = {}
	for sLine in io.lines(sFileName) do
		for context in string.gmatch(sLine,"@[%w]+") do --> extract context label
			if not t2[context] then
			table.insert(t2,context)
			t2[context] = true
			end
		end
	end

	  ContextNum = table.getn(t2) --> calc no of context
	  
	for i = 1, (#t2 < 9) and #t2 or 8 do
    SKIN:Bang('!SetOption CMeter'..i..' Text \"'..t2[i]..'\"')
	SKIN:Bang('!SetOption CMeter'..i..' LeftMouseUpAction """!Execute [!WriteKeyValue Variables CContext \"'..t2[i]..'\"][!Refresh]"""')
	end
	
	
		t3={}

		end
	end
	ProjectNum = table.getn(t3)

    SKIN:Bang('!SetOption Project'..i..' Text \"'..t3[i]..'\"')

Re: Lua Script todo.txt

Post by jsmorley »

Looks fine to me. You are obviously a "quick study"... ;-)

There are a million ways to write any program, and much of any feedback would be of a coding "style" nature that I think is the preference of the author unless you are working on a shared project. Just a few things that are more functional I might point out:

1) You don't need the PROPERTIES table at the top at all any more. That functionality has been deprecated and you can just use SELF:GetOption() or SELF:GetNumberOption() anywhere in the script to retrieve a setting from the actual script measure. You can just remove PROPERTIES entirely.

2) Using table.getn(t3) and #t3 are the same thing. Both return the current count of the items in a table/array. Not sure either is preferred, but you might want to pick one or the other for consistency. I use #tableName myself. So you could use NewNumber = table.getn(tData) or NewNumber = #tData and they both store the current count of the table in your NewNumber variable. Lua has a lot of "syntaxical sugar" shortcuts that can be useful.

3) It's not terribly important in a small script, which almost all are in Rainmeter, but it is probably a good practice to remember that in Lua (unlike most languages) all variables are "global" unless you specify the word "local" when they are defined. Local variables when they are possible use a tad less resources, and in general are a safer and more efficient way to carry variables around in memory.

All in all I think you are doing fine with Lua. Obviously you have done some coding before, so Lua should really be a breeze once you get used to the particulars of the language. It's really a very simple and straightforward one compared to many others.

This is a particularly good reference if you have not tumbled to it yet: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory.

Instead of iterating over the same file three times each update, I suggest reading that file into a table then iterating over the table.

Code: Select all

	hFile = io.input(SKIN:MakePathAbsolute(sFileName),'r')
	fLines={}
	if not hFile then
		print('File error'); return 'File error';
	else
		for line in io.lines() do
			table.insert(fLines,line)
		end
	end
	io.close(hFile) 

	tData = {}
	for i,v in ipairs(hFile) do
		if string.find(v,sContext) then
			local sline2=string.sub(v,11) --> remove date position 1-11
			table.insert(tData,i..")"..sline2) --> insert line number in front
		end
	end
Also, I notice that you initialize the table named context a few time, but never use it.

Yeah "context" is not a table as used, just a variable. You can initialize it with local context = "" if you want, although you don't really have to "def" variables in Lua unless you want them reset to some starting value on each update.

The one other thing that occurs to me is that since we now are specifically creating and populating the table fLines on each update, it might be worth putting fLines = nil right above the "return" line at the end of your Update() function. Your text file is not that large currently, but if it gets bigger, and it stores the entire text file in memory, it might be worth returning the memory resources between updates by "destroying" the table when you are done with it. Not sure if the trade-off between a CPU cycle or two to destroy the table is a good price for giving back the memory, but it just feels right...

P.S. I think you are going to want for i,v in ipairs(hFile) do to be for i,v in ipairs(fLines) do in Smurfier's example.

Re: Lua Script todo.txt

Post by aidayong »

Script have been updated to include the following
1| task number below ten are padzero
2| task format with due date eg '2012-04-04 buy new ipad due:05/04/2012' are sorted as today/overdue or later/future list
3| using userinput to add task and append todo textfile

i am having some problem in appending text file because each time i add task via userinput it will write twice. i not sure why n its bugging me.

I'm pretty sure it's the UpdateDivider=-1 on the script measure. If I remember previous discussions correctly, using that on a script measure actually causes the measure to update twice, not the advertised once. Try leaving it enabled and just disable it at the end of Update().
