So I've been messing around with Rainmeter for a little under a week and I can't seem to get formulas with more than three variables to return a non-zero value. I alternatively tried splitting this formula into two discrete parts and still run into the same issues. I suppose it may be a problem with formula length. Has anyone else run into similar issues?
[Variables]
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4
[Sum]
Measure = Calc
Formula = #A# + #B# + #C# + #D# ;does not return 10
[Sum_1]
Measure = Calc
Formula = #A# + #B#
[Sum_2]
Measure = Calc
Formula = #A# + #B#
[Sum_3]
Measure = Calc
Formula = Sum_1 + Sum_2 ;doesn't return 10 either
I should probably mention that the variables are actually named something like #Border_Offset_X# to give you an idea of how many characters this formula consumes.
Seems to work fine for me. All I did was remove the inline comments on the Formula= statements that seemed to be generating a "Syntax error", and I got this:

I'll give it another run through when I get back home. I appreciate your help. After checking a few other skins, it looks like here isn't a discernible limit on character inputs per formula either. This is pretty unsettling because I thought I was a decent coder until now, lol...
Also, is that notepad++? It looks like a pretty decent editor and MS notepad just isn't cutting it anymore
Oh damn! I should've seen this when you removed the inline comments! That's why my variables started breaking my formulas. It makes me sad that Rainmeter doesn't like that style of commenting. Thanks so much~
On another note, I don't suppose there's some way to make block-style comments (/* ohai */)?

There is not, sorry. Rainmeter just uses a very standard .ini format, and the format does not support block comments. It should however support inline comments, we will have to look at that.
