Problem with Time-%w - Weekday as decimal number

[Fried_Ice]

Hi Guys,
At the moment I am workin on a skin which displays the current time.
To support the simple String of the different values I decided to put the Strings inside a BarMeter showing the progress of the hours, seconds and so on.
All works fine but the Weekdays.
I used the Measure "%w - Weekday as decimal number (0 - 6; Sunday is 0)" to get the current Day. But I am interesting in having the Monday as the first day of the week so I tried to solve the peoblem like this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureDayValue]
Measure=Time
Format=%w
Substitute=Substitute="0":"6","1":"2","2","3","3":"4","4":"5","5":"6","6":"0"
MinValue=0
MaxValue=6

The result: nothing changed...
Could anyone help me finding another way to convert these values?

Code: Select all

[MeasureDayValue]
Measure=Time
Format=-%w
Substitute="-0":"6","-1":"0","-2":"1","-3":"2","-4":"3","-5":"4","-6":"5"

[MeasureValueForBar]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[MeasureDayValue]
MinValue=0
MaxValue=6
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterOne]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=MeasureValueForBar
W=100
H=20
BarColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=105,37,6,150
BarOrientation=HORIZONTAL

First, you have Substitute= twice on the measure and a small typo with "," instead of ":" in one spot. Second, I added a "-" to the format statement, so I can then properly do the Substitute without having the fact that they are done one after another cause part two just overwrite part one. Then, I used a Calc measure to set the MinValue and MaxValue, as they are only valid on measures that return numbers, and the Time measure returns a string.

I recommend a slightly different approach.

Code: Select all

[MeasureDayValue]
Measure=Time
Format=%w

[MeasureValueForBar]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[MeasureDayValue]=0?6:[MeasureDayValue]-1
MinValue=0
MaxValue=6
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterOne]
Meter=Bar
MeasureName=MeasureValueForBar
W=100
H=20
BarColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=105,37,6,150
BarOrientation=HORIZONTAL

Yep, either will work.

Works Perfect-Thanks alot ;D

Now I got the next problem^^
When I draw the bars of days, the masure must have a MaxValue which depends of the number of days the month has.
How could I implement that?

Glad to help.

Code: Select all

[msYear]
Measure=Time
Format=%#Y

;Gotta test for a leap year
[cFeb]
Measure=Calc
Formula=28+((msYear%4)=0)

[msMonth]
Measure=Time
Format=%#m

[cMonthDays]
Measure=Calc
Formula=-msMonth
Subsitute="-1":"31","-2":"[cFeb]","-3":"31","-4":"30","-5":"31","-6":"30","-7":"31","-8":"31","-9":"30","-10":"31","-11":"30","-12":"31"
