The only thing I would caution is that Lua is not good with Unicode characters when using a function that depends on "position" in a string. Multi-byte Unicode characters will throw it off. Staying with the 256 ASCII / Extended ASCII characters will work fine with this approach.eclectic-tech wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 2:37 pm Have you looked at Mordasius's Lua example? It may provide a simple reusable solution.
This looks promising... would you mind explaining what is going on here:eclectic-tech wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 2:37 pm Have you looked at Mordasius's Lua example? It may provide a simple reusable solution.
Code: Select all
for n, s in ipairs(StreamsByViewer) do
SKIN:Bang('!SetOption','MeterStream'..n..'','Text',string.format("%-8s %-20s %5d %-6s %-10s",s.stream.Type,s.stream.Owner, s.stream.Viewers,center(s.stream.Races,7),center(s.stream.Rating,10)))
end
Code: Select all
"%-8s %-20s %5d %-6s %-10s"Oh wait, so the Celsius degree symbol wont work?jsmorley wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 2:41 pm The only thing I would caution is that Lua is not good with Unicode characters when using a function that depends on "position" in a string.

º or ° should be ok, they are ASCII 176 / 248 and are single byte characters.
