Word Count

[newuserguy1]

I am planning to use a word count lua, yet I don't really know how to. I would like it to search the text file, and if there is more than one word, then load the red counter, but if there are less than one word, load the green one. below is the coding i tried, I will also post the Lua script.

Code: Select all

[h/w-check]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=wc.lua
function wc(C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Mine\Blank2\homework.txt)
if words= >1 then
Excecute [!ShowMeter Checkn] [!HideMeter Checkp] [!Redraw]
else 
Excecute [!ShowMeter Checkp] [!HideMeter Checkn] [!Redraw]
return
end

and the lua:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env lua

function printwc(lines, words, chars, fname)

	chars=0
	words=0
	lines=0
	
	if(fname=="-") then it=io.lines()
	else it=io.lines(fname) end

	for line in it do
		lines=lines+1
		for word in string.gfind(line, "[^%s]+") do words=words+1 end
		chars=chars+string.len(line)+1
	end
	printwc(lines, words, chars, fname)

	tot_chars=tot_chars+chars
	tot_words=tot_words+words
	tot_lines=tot_lines+lines
end



nfiles=0

for i=1,table.getn(arg) do 
	if(nfiles==0 and string.sub(arg[i], 1, 1)=='-') then
		opts=opts .. arg[i]
	else
		if(string.len(opts)==0) then opts="lwc" end
		wc(arg[i])
		nfiles=nfiles+1
	end
end


if(string.len(opts)==0) then opts="lwc" end
if nfiles<1 then wc("-") end
if nfiles>1 then printwc(tot_lines, tot_words, tot_chars, "total") end

thanks in advance!

The code you have above will not work as that's just not valid Rainmeter skin code. I've also included a small script that should work. The one you posted seems to be used to write the number or words at the end of the provided file.

The UpdateDivider=-1 will make it so that the file is only checked once. This is because the script opens, reads and closes the file every update.

Code: Select all

[h/w-check]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=wc.lua
File=C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Mine\Blank2\homework.txt
IfAboveValue=1
IfAboveAction=[!ShowMeter Checkn][!HideMeter Checkp][!Redraw]
IfBelowValue=1
IfBelowAction=[!ShowMeter Checkp][!HideMeter Checkn][!Redraw]
UpdateDivider=-1

wc.lua

Code: Select all

function Update()
	local hFile = io.open(SELF:GetOption('File'), 'r')
	if hFile then
		local _, words = hFile:read('*all'):gsub('[^%s]+', '')
		hFile:close()
		return words
	else
		SKIN:Bang('!Log', 'Cannot open file', 'Error')
		return ''
	end
end -- Update
