Skripting BUG . RegExpTester vs Real

[gtjgtj]

@Silver Azide:

I Use Notepad++ and I now changed the encoding to UCS-2 LE BOM - Thank you

@balala:

Yeah - now it works the ­[\xAD] was it.

But where do you know that this is the correct character code for the "-" ? Where can I find it for other symbols? e.g. the "ü" in Wolfenbüttel
Works it only because I change the coding in Notepad++ into UCS-2 LE-BOM?


You are right, "Wolfenbüttel" does not appear in the HTML code of this mentioned homepage.
It was only an example, because I get the value of Wolfenbüttel from another web page. But since it is probably the same problem, I have quoted it.

I think I would just have to find the correct letter code for the "ü" and put it in.

But where do you know that this is the correct character code for the "-" ?

Here is how have I proceded:
I look for Nieder-Sachsen in the source code of the site. Didn't find it, so looked for Nieder. Got one single result. When I copied the name from the source code, I figured out that the - is a little bit different then what have you used. So I used an online tool to get the ASCII code of their character. when I pasted the copied character, got nothing shown up in the panel, however when I clicked the Get ASCII values button on the above online tool, got the posted AD hex code for the character and accordingly I used the needed and posted [\xAD] code in the RegExp option.
It's a little bit weird, that if I copy the ­chracter from the source code of the site, I get nothing visible posted into the online tool, however the appropriate ASCII code is returned. I suppose that's a somehow special chracater, but I'm not sure at all what's exactly going on.

Works it only because I change the coding in Notepad++ into UCS-2 LE-BOM?

Yes, this is important as well, but probably not sufficient, according to what I described above.

I think I would just have to find the correct letter code for the "ü" and put it in.

As described Wolfenbüttel is not listed on the site. I tried to look for Wolfenb as well, to make sure the ü letter doesn't create problems (as the - character above), but didn't find this either, so probably Wolfenbüttel is not there at all, in other forms either.

As I said, it was an example. In fact, I search for Wolfenbüttel on this page:
https://www.apps.nlga.niedersachsen.de/corona/iframe.php

There you will find Wolfenbüttel and other places in Lower Saxony that also have umlauts now and then.

I haven't used the web parser on this page yet, but I want to do it to read the values from my hometown Wolfenbüttel.

Here the HTML-Code detail from mentioned site:

Code: Select all

                <tr>
        <td>Wolfenbüttel</td>
        <td align="right">1790 (+13)</td>
        <td align="right">1 496,4</td>
        <td align="right">60</td>
        <td align="right">50,2</td>
        <td align="right">81 (+1)</td>
      </tr>

According to your online tool (thank you for the link), I would have a hex code "FC" for "ü".
For Rainmeter I must then write [\xFC]?

Wolfenb[\xFC]ttel ?? Like this?:

Code: Select all

RegExp=(?siU).*<td>Wolfenb[\xFC]ttel</td>
        <td align="right">(.*)</td>
        <td align="right">(.*)</td>
        <td align="right">(.*)</td>
        <td align="right">(.*)</td>
        <td align="right">(.*)</td>

Sorry, I can't test it at this moment, I'm currently not at home...

Thanks for all answers

I didn't say such a place doesn't exist. It definitely might exist, but it's not listed on the initial source. That's all.

Try for first with ü. Additionally note that the RegExp must be written in one single line, so try something like this for first: RegExp=(?siU)<tr>.*<td>Wolfenbüttel</td>.*<td align="right">(.*)</td>.*<td align="right">(.*)</td>.*<td align="right">(.*)</td>.*<td align="right">(.*)</td>.*<td align="right">(.*)</td>.*</tr>. This one works, just tried it out.

Yes, that works - even with an "ü"
Thank you very much

It's not completely finished yet, but it works. I have to work a bit on the design now.
Here's a picture (the Button is still incorrectly labeled) :

With many pleasure.

Ok, please feel free to come back if any new question arises.
