Webparser and Measures

[desin]

Code: Select all

[Measure1Link]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureWebsite]
StringIndex=5

[MeasureImage1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=http://edge1.mobafire.com/images/champion/icon/[Measure1Link].png
Download=1

The MeasureImage1 doesn't do anything when there is [Measure1Link] instead of some actual text. Measure1Link returns text which I want to be in the link to download the image. Debug doesn't show anything and i've seen this site and which gave me nothing. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

And one more thing. Is there any way for Measure1Link which returns "Alistar" to return "alistar" in lower case? I know the StringCase thing but it only works in Meters.

You must use a RegExp to fetch the exact address of the image. The exact link can be accessed via a measure of the type

[GetImage]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=SomeUrl.com
RegExp="some regexp"
StringIndex=01
Download=1

This will give you the exact address of the image and will download it locally. The it can be accessed within a Image measure meter.

[DisplayImage]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=GetImage
x=0
y=0
and so on.

thanks, that helped.


I need some help with another problem.

Let's say [Measure1], in which i used webparser, is returning a word "Test" which first letter is uppercase.
And I need to use Measure1 value in another Measure2 and the value has to be lowercased.

Is there any way to change case of [Measure1] value so that it would return "test" instead of "Test"?

[Kaelri]

You could do it by brute force with a substitute on [Measure1]:

Code: Select all

Substitute="A":"a","B":"b","C":"c"...

There may be a way to use RegExpSubstitute to do it more cleanly, but I'm not familiar enough to say for sure.

It's also very easy to do in Lua:

Code: Select all

NewString = string.lower(OldString)

Thanks for help!

But once again I have a problem

How can I join two strings into one in Lua? e.g. I have one string http://www.somewebsite.com/ and the other one as index.php, and I need a third joined string http://www.somewebsite.com/index.php
Or do the same with Measure values.

but i need them to join without spaces

EDIT: FOUND OUT ABOUT THE .. double dot option!!!!! everythings working out now

[Kaelri]

Code: Select all

JoinedString = String1..String2

the ".." pattern is used to concatenate strings or string variables.

finalString = 'http://www.somewebsite.com'..'index.php'
finalString = stringOne..stringTwo
