Lua and RegExp

[Tidus]

Hey all,
I'm attempting to create a meter that parses a webpage for information for a certain day, and so was toying with using measures in a regexp but was not able to make that work. So i looked up some Lua and am attempting to use a script to insert a variable into my expression and so change the regexp depending on the date.
Thanks in advance

INI

Code: Select all

[MeasureToday]
Measure=Time

[MeasureYesterday]
Measure=Time
TimeStamp=([MeasureToday:]-86400)
Format=%A, %B %d
DynamicVariables=1

[LuaModifyMeasureScoresText]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=#ScoresTextPath#
mDate1=[MeasureYesterday]
Debug=1

[MeasureScoresText]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=nba/stats/monthlyschedSN.aspx
RegExp="(?siU)Sunday, January 27.*FINAL: <strong>(.*)</strong>(.*)    </td>"
DynamicVariables=1
Debug=1

[MeasureScore1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureScoresText]
StringIndex=1

[MeasureScore2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureScoresText]
StringIndex=2

[ScoresText]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureScore1
MeasureName2=MeasureScore2
MeterStyle=TextStyle
Text=%1 %2
x=10
y=10
FontColor=255,255,255,255

LUA

Code: Select all

function Initialize()

	sDate1 = SELF:GetOption('mDate1')
	
end

function Update()
	
	sDate1 = SELF:GetOption('mDate1')
	SKIN:Bang('!SetOption MeasureScoresText RegExp \"(?siU)'..sDate1..'.*FINAL: (.*)<strong>(.*)</strong>    </td>\"')
	SKIN:Bang('!Refresh')
	
	return ('complete')
	
end	

and finally, the text from the webpage:

Code: Select all

...
ign="center">Monday, January 28</td>        </tr>
...
 nowrap>FINAL: <strong>GSW (114)</strong> - TOR (102)    </td>    <td class="TSN5" width="30%" 
...
 nowrap>FINAL: <strong>MEM (103)</strong> - PHI (100)    </td>    <td class="TSN1"
...

I'm focusing on the
"GSW (114)" and " - TOR (102)"
"MEM (103)"..." - PHI (100)"
and any other sets of scores in that format right after any "FINAL:" , but only for specific dates.

I don't think my script has been able to alter the RegExp= option yet.

Some other things:

Removing "SKIN:Bang('!Refresh') displays the default text from the regexp, which has not been altered by the lua script, so I assume the INI is functioning properly. With the !Refresh in place, the log doesnt show debug from the webparser, and also doesnt show any values for the "LuaModifyMeasureScoresText","MeasureScoresText","MeasureScore1" or "MeasureScore2" measures. When the !Refresh is removed, LuaModifyMeasureScoresText returns a "complete" value, from the script.

Thanks again

SetOption cannot be used with WebParser measures because WebParser does not as of yet support Dynamic Variables.

If the source text does not contain any unicode characters we can parse the text in the Lua function. Could you please provide the full source text file?

Unfortunate...

EDIT: did not read your full post. I was unable to attach a txt or html file, and was unable to paste the entire line from the text either. Even pasting the line itself exceeded the character limit. What file type is acceptable? And I am assuming you are asking for the text from the webpage I am parsing?

alternatively i could post the link to the website if you can save it as a txt file?

sorry, I'm still getting used to this

You can post code to service like http://sync.in/ or http://pastebin.mozilla.org/ or http://pastebin.com/

Alright, I posted it to pastebin under the title "Tidus rainmeter source text 1/29".

The format of the page makes matching a bit difficult. This may take some time.

[smurfier]

Now that I've successfully parsed the page, what do you want to do with the data?

[Tidus]

The idea is to make a sports ticker. It would arrange the string the sets of scores from each of the previous games into a long string, which repeats, and uses Kaelri's transition script to make the string move across the bottom of the screen.

The words will be arranged in a way such as:

LAC (73) - TOR (98) | MIA (89) - IND (102) | ORL (84) - BOS (97) | ...

I did notice that this source had [bold] [/bold] around the winners, and I intended to devise a way to remove those with "?"s or something that ignores optional information.

If I interpret your needs correctly...

Skin.ini

Lua.lua

Code: Select all

function Initialize()
	Web = SKIN:GetMeasure('Web')
end -- Initialize

function Update()
	local text, tbl, date = Web:GetStringValue():match('<table[^>]-Class="TsnTableStyle">(.-)</table>') or '', {}

	for block in text:gmatch('<tr>.-</tr>') do
		if block:match('FINAL:') and date then
			local temp = block:match('FINAL:(.-)</td>'):gsub('<[^>]+>', ''):match('^%s*(.-)%s*$')
			if not tbl[date] then
				tbl[date] = {temp}
			else
				table.insert(tbl[date], temp)
			end
		elseif block:match('%w+, %w+ %d+') then
			date = block:match('<td[^>]->([^<]+)</td>')
		end
	end

	local yesterday = os.date('%A, %B #%d', os.time() - 86400):gsub('#0?', '')
	return table.concat(tbl[yesterday] or {}, ' | ')
end -- Update

Works perfectly! I really appreciate it.
