How to substitute part of url for image webparser download

[death.crafter]

That definitely worked, thanks! It's a shame I have to use a workaround like this though, because there are 30 images I need to do this with, so I need 30 more measures for getting the URL, 30 variables to store the URLs, etc.

Actually if you look into PowershellRM(can be used for scripting) or Lua Scripting you can do it without having to use 30 measures.

Don't contest it can be done, however an example always would be nice. Post it please.

Skin file:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
RSSLink0=
RSSLink1=
RSSLink2=
...

[MeasureScript]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=ImageParser.lua
ImageCount=30
UpdateDivider=-1

[Feed]
Measure=WebParser
Url=[#RSSLink[#CurrentNum]]
RegExp="(?siU)#RegexPattern#
 
[ItemImage]
Measure=WebParser
Url=[Feed]
StringIndex=3
DynamicVariables=1
DecodeCharacterReference=1
Substitute=#Substitutes#

[MeasureDownloadImage]
Measure=WebParser
Url=[ItemImage]
Download=1
DownloadFile=[#CurrentNum].png
UpdateRate=600
DynamicVariables=1
Disabled=1

[Item0Thumbnail]
Meter=Image
ImageName=0.png

Lua:

Code: Select all

function Initialize()
    local imageCount=SELF:GetOption("ImageCount")
    for i=0, imageCount-1, 1 do
        SKIN:Bang('!SetVariable', 'CurrentNum', i)
        SKIN:Bang('!UpdateMeasure', 'Feed')
        SKIN:Bang('!CommandMeasure', 'ItemImage', 'Update')
        SKIN:Bang('!EnableMeasure', 'MeasureDownloadImage')
        SKIN:Bang('!CommandMeasure', 'MeasureDownloadImage', 'Update')
        SKIN:Bang('!UpdateMeter', 'Item'..i..'Thumbnail')
        SKIN:Bang('!Redraw')
    end
end

Since lua is fast and download may not commence at this rate, there is a probability this lua may not work. And honestly I don't know how to add delay to a chain of action in lua. So I am attaching a PSRM script too...
Measure:

Code: Select all

[PSRM]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowershellRM
ScriptFile=GetImages.ps1
UpdateDivider=-1

Script:

Code: Select all

function GetImages {
    $imageCount=30
    for ($i=0; $i -lt $imageCount; $i++) {
        $RmAPI.Bang("!SetVariable CurrentNum $i")
        $RmAPI.Bang("!UpdateMeasure Feed")
        Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 50
        $RmAPI.Bang("!UpdateMeasure ItemImage")
        $RmAPI.Bang("!UpdateMeasure MeasureDownloadImage")
        $Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
        $RmAPI.Bang("[!UpdateMeter Item$("$i"+'Thumbnail')][!Redraw]")
        Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
    }
}

This script would give 4 images per second, which may seem pretty slow but it's an alternative if Lua doesn't work, just to be safe.

And since we have to execute this script, we can add an action somewhere,
for example:

Code: Select all

OnRefreshAction=!Command Measure PSRM "GetImages"

You can do it in native Rainmeter as well - just reuse the WebParser measure sequentially, once it finishes getting the current Web resource.
