Weather Skins Not Working

[raiguard]

Just wanna pop in and say, I'm really impressed by the level of commitment everyone has for this. I'm not the best at being patient and I probably would have just given up at this point. But no, jsmorley and co. just keep pressing on! Great job guys/gals, you're all amazing.

Maybe I'll actually finally update my Weather Meter soon... hopefully.

Just to follow up...

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Variables]
MyString=\uD834\uDF06

[MeasureReadStringFromFile]
Measure=WebParser
URL=file://#CURRENTPATH##CURRENTFILE#
CodePage=1200
RegExp=(?siU)MyString=(.*)\r\n
StringIndex=1
DecodeCodePoints=1

[MeterDisplay]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureReadStringFromFile
FontSize=25
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=Look, I found a %1, which is the same as [\xD834][\xDF06]

Done... The beta with this new option is out.

Brilliant - it works flawlessly! I don't think I expected a feature so eagerly before, LOL - must have been the first one downloading the new beta. Just one thing though...if I'm applying this to an "itermediate" WebParser child (which also does some regexp substitutions; my bad, it doesn't actually), it doesn't work, I have to apply it on the "final" WebParser child (aka the grandchild). Don't bother with the variables below, they are just normal strings, the idea is important.
The parent:

Code: Select all

[MS_WebParser_Weather]
Measure=WebParser
Url="#WeatherURL#"
UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.106 Safari/537.36

OnRegExpErrorAction=[!SetVariable MomentIndex -1][!UpdateMeasureGroup "WeatherGroup"][!UpdateMeasureGroup "WeatherDerivativeGroup"][!UpdateMeasureGroup "MomentGroup"][!SetOption MT_Rainmeter_ForecastDayPartTopic StringAlign "Left"][!SetOption MT_Rainmeter_ForecastDayPartTopic X (#ContainerWidth#)][!SetOption MT_Rainmeter_ForecastDayPartTopic Text "#ForecastDayPartTopicText#"][!UpdateMeter *][!EnableMeasure "MS_Rainmeter_Counter"][!EnableMouseActionGroup "MouseOverAction|MouseLeaveAction|MouseScrollUpAction|MouseScrollDownAction|LeftMouseUpAction|MiddleMouseUpAction|RightMouseUpAction" MouseActionsGroup][!Redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

The "itermediate" child:

Code: Select all

[MS_WebParser_Weather_Location]
Group=WeatherGroup
Measure=WebParser
Url=[MS_WebParser_Weather]
StringIndex=1
RegExp=#Flag##Location#
StringIndex2=1
DecodeCodePoints=1
UpdateDivider=-1

The "final" child:

Code: Select all

[MS_WebParser_Weather_Location_District]
Group=WeatherGroup
Measure=WebParser
Url=[MS_WebParser_Weather_Location]
StringIndex=1
RegExp=#Flag##District#(#Data#)#Stop#
StringIndex2=1
UpdateDivider=-1
DecodeCodePoints=1
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="#Decoder#","(?:^\s+|\s+$)":"",'(?:^"|"$)':"","(?i)(?:^$|^N\/A$|^null$)":"No District"

So, if I comment out the option in [MS_WebParser_Weather_Location_District], it doesn't produce the desired effect. I'm probably missing something here, or it's indeed the expected behavior. I was thinking that I could apply this options to just my 4 "intermediate" WebParser children (i.e. Location, Observation, DateTime and DailyForecast), without bothering adding the option to the more than 4 "final" children.

Note that this supports "normalization" of Unicode code points as well.

So the string \uD834\uDF06 would decode to 𝌆

P.S. This also works with Character Variables in Rainmeter.

Wow, that's great news. Thank You!

I'm not sure. I think Brian would need to weigh in on whether or not a StringIndex2 option in fact creates a "child" measure in the eyes of WebParser. I would also be a bit concerned about how the UpdateDivider=-1 is being handled in this case. Don't forget that WebParser "parent" functionality depends on UpdateRate or [!CommandMeasure MeasureName "Update"].

I see... I'm curious what Brian has to say about this. Just a follow up question: you are able to replicate it, aren't you?

Yeah, but I do update the group those measures belong to in the FinishAction of the WebParser parent...

LOL, There is no way I'm even going to attempt to figure out that mess you have going...

[jsmorley]

Yeah, but I do update the group those measures belong to in the FinishAction of the WebParser parent...

!UpdateMeasure doesn't really do much on a WebParser measure. So instead of 600 skin updates until it performs the functionality, it's now 599 skin updates...

Just my opinion, but UpdateDivider=-1 is pretty much always a bad idea on any WebParser measure.

[Yincognito]

LOL, There is no way I'm even going to attempt to figure out that mess you have going...

Well, that "mess" just provided an alternative in parsing the weather.com data...
Joking aside, I know you're scared of my codes, LOL. Relax, I'm not going to bother you with my "hideously complicated" erm..."mess".

I was just asking if you're able to replicate the thing in a simple, basic skin, that's all.

EDIT: Just commented out the UpdateDivider=-1 from both the intermediate child and the final one. Same result.

Two hundred years ago you would have been burned at the stake...

Nah, I would have rebelled against the tyrants, and become a Robin Hood of some sort ... or the next emperor.
