Substitute wont work like I want it to.

[junnyuu]

Hi, I've done some google search and tried to theme myself. Problem is, substitute will only work with %I and not %H. I want %H because i can substitute. what hours I want to be good morning, good evening and good night. but %I only has 12 hours, i don't know how to substitute it.

Here's some code that i copied and modded

Code: Select all

Anyone know how to make %H substitute=able or make %I and %p the same thing so that I can substitute 05AM and 05PM differently?

You can't use Format=%#H and then look for "05" in the substitute, as the "#" char in the format means "strip off leading zeros". You are also searching for " 05" when it is returning (or will be when you take off the "#") "05". Also, the spaces in front of the text replacements like " Good morning" are pointless. Use the X and Y formatting of the meters to handle spacing.

So this works fine for me:
