Script lua for text in uppercase, lowercase and type of sentence (Scritp lua, texto en mayusculas, minusculas y oracion)

[FernandoAleisy]

Script lua to show the text in uppercase, lowercase or sentence format in a string meter in Rainmeter.
I was carrying out a Rainmeter project and it occurred to me to create this script for my skins.
I've thought about adding more text styles, but I still can not think of cases that might be needed for the presentation of the strings.

"Script lua para mostrar el texto en mayúsculas, minúsculas o en formato de oraciones en un medidor de cuerdas en Rainmeter.
Estaba llevando a cabo un proyecto Rainmeter y se me ocurrió crear este script para mis máscaras.
He pensado en agregar más estilos de texto, pero todavía no puedo se me ha ocurrido casos que podrían ser necesarios para la presentación de los string".

this is the script in lua

Code: Select all

--Minúsculas
function min(p)
	m=string.lower ( p )
	return m
end

--Mayúsculas
function may(q)
	n=string.upper ( q )
	return n
end

--Oración
function ora(r)
	o=string.lower (string.sub (r, 2,-1))
	s=string.upper (string.sub (r, 1,1))
	return s..o
end

and for those who still do not know how to use the lua script in Rainmeter, here is the code in the .ini file.

Script lua to show the text in uppercase, lowercase or sentence format in a string meter in Rainmeter.

Your code is for sure useful in many cases, however sometimes a much easier solution does exist: you can add a StringCase option to the String meters. It has four possible values:

• None - the string isn't altered, it is show as it is.
• Upper - All letters converted uppercase.
• Lower - All letters converted lowercase.
• Proper - The first letter of all words is converted uppercase. Here is a great difference, because using the ora function of your lua script, you get uppercase only the first letter of the whole string, while setting the StringCase to Proper sets uppercase all first letter of all words within the string.

Again, please don't misunderstand me, your code can be and is useful in many cases, I just wanted to show an (at least sometimes) usable alternative.

[FernandoAleisy]

Yes, you can use the StringCase, but in my case I wanted only part of the text to be modified and I could not do it with StringCase.
The StringCase modifies all the text that is shown in the meter.
thanks for your contribution.

[balala]

The StringCase modifies all the text that is shown in the meter.

Not necessarily. You can use the Case setting of an Inline to get modified the string only partially.

Yep, it's an interesting option, added on July 31, 2015 (version 3.3.2423) to the String meters, which indeed worth to be studied a little bit.
However I don't contest the benefits of your code. In many cases it can be useful and don't be disappointed by my reply to your initial message, your code is definitely useful. Just had to add that comment.

[FernandoAleisy]

no problem, no disappointment, in fact I could be asking about doubts that arise about rainmeter. Of course, if it's not an inconvenience for you.

[balala]

Of course, if it's not an inconvenience for you.

No, it's never. I'm happy to help whenever I have enough time and energy. Other times you have to wait for a while.
