Or, a more comprehensive one go (too bad replacing !PluginBang with !CommandMeasure requires a different approach, than this general form below) ...

Find What : (?i)(?|!Execute (\[)|(!)Rainmeter|Plugin\RPlugin=(?:Plugins\\)?(MediaKey|NowPlaying|RecycleManager|WebParser)(?:\.dll)?)
Replace With : \1
Dummy Test Content:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
SomeVar=SomeFile.dll

[MeasureOne]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
SomeOption=!execute [!RainmeterHideMeter SomeMeter][!PluginBang SomeMeasure SomeArguments]

[MeasureTwo]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MediaKey
SomeOption=SomeValue

[MeasureThree]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
SomeOption=SomeValue

[MeasureFour]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
SomeOption=SomeValue
Result:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
SomeVar=SomeFile.dll

[MeasureOne]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
SomeOption=[!HideMeter SomeMeter][!PluginBang SomeMeasure SomeArguments]

[MeasureTwo]
Measure=MediaKey
SomeOption=SomeValue

[MeasureThree]
Measure=WebParser
SomeOption=SomeValue

[MeasureFour]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=ActionTimer
SomeOption=SomeValue
P.S. Sorry for resurrecting this, but maybe this will be of some use for adjusting very old skins.

It really isn't needed to change how skins are written in the old way since Rainmeter does the job automatically for both !RainmeterShow/!RainmeterPluginBang/!PluginBang and !Execute
It's a thing to do for spring cleaning though

For sure. :thumbup: Google Translate automatically translates things from other languages to English too, but most of the times is less confusing and more consistent to have it all following a certain syntax, and that goes for skins as well. Not required, but probably preferable. ;-)
