New Plugin Idea (Text Manipulation)
We could do a lot of dynamic things if Rainmeter had the ability to read, write and compare text. So why not create a plugin with the following abilities...

Re: New Plugin Idea (Text Manipulation)
I agree, that would be a great set of new features.
Could be quite a lot of work to do all of those things though

Re: New Plugin Idea (Text Manipulation)
Great idea! At the moment, using NirCmd works just fine for doing similar tasks (if not all), but having this available in Rainmeter would certainly be better. In my opinion this should rather be part of the core instead of being a separate plugin.
Some of the ideas discussed in The Meter Measure could also be added here.

I would also love to be able to find the length of a string in pixels.

Re: New Plugin Idea (Text Manipulation)
Great sugestions, I'd like that level of text manipulation too.
