[solved] How can i use #CRLF# in SKIN:Bang(...)

[EliteLucker]

To set an Tootltip dynamical at runtime i use this to set the text

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang("!WriteKeyValue Variables "..sHolidayPrefix.."Name1 \"New Year\" #RootConfigPath#\DynamicVariable.inc")

But now i want to set an new Line with more Infos

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang("!WriteKeyValue Variables "..sHolidayPrefix.."Name1 \"New Year#CRLF#Happy New Year\" #RootConfigPath#\DynamicVariable.inc")

This should only be an example, what i got is in DynamicVariable.inc

Code: Select all

HoldidayName1=New Year
Happy New Year
HoldidayName2=

but it should be

Code: Select all

HoldidayName1=New Year#CRLF#Happy New Year
HoldidayName2=

because the newline should be used in the TooltTipText


I thanks for this newbie help

grr i hate i when i found the answer shortly after i ask in forum grrrgrgggrrgrgrg

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang("!WriteKeyValue Variables "..sHolidayPrefix.."Name1 \"New Year#*CRLF*#Happy New Year\" #RootConfigPath#\DynamicVariable.inc")

EDIT:

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "ToolTipText" "'..tHolidayName[b]..'"')
					SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "ToolTipType" 0')
					SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "ToolTipWidth" 200')	

error: !WriteKeyValue: file not found: <path>New

The issue is that #CRLF# is being expanded into a new line before it's being written. Luckily, there is a fix for that. We simply need to escape the variable using * (#*Variable*#).

SKIN:Bang('!WriteKeyValue','Variables',sHolidayPrefix..'Name1','New Year#*CRLF*#Happy New Year','#RootConfigPath#\DynamicVariable.inc')

Also, note that I converted your bang to the new format used in Rainmeter 2.3.3

SKIN:Bang(Parm1,Parm2,Parm3...)

Thanks for this info, i will looking to change the whole skin into the new 2.3.3 format. That easier to use for me.
