[solved] help to simplify a bunch of IfCondition

[eclectic-tech]

Instead of using the date number to test, use the TimeStamp of today, subtract 1 day of seconds (86400) for yesterday, and add 86400 seconds for tomorrow.

Read more about working with TimeStamps here...

Sample code showing values for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

By changing the Time measure Format option you can get any date/time details you want as the values of the measures for today, yesterday, or tomorrow.

To be honest I just read the post, but at least as far as I can say, there is no need to create conditions. Don't complicate things. Would be nice you to post the whole code of your skin, maybe there is a simply way to achieve what you want.
So waiting for the whole code...

[eclectic-tech]

Seeing all of your code would make it easier to help.

But you misunderstood my suggestion:
Simply use those 3 measures to determine yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

This way completely eliminates any need to test all the days of the month in IfConditions tests.

Here is my code with days as measure values and a combined string meter that will give you the desired result:

so questions :
1) how do i need to use something like

Code: Select all

!SetVariable variablename measurename+1

? ( being 4 today that i get with the measure so get 5 for tomorrow , only the 5 , not the full Format=%#c )
2) in

Code: Select all

!SetOption metername InlinePattern  XYZ

, how i add a space before and after the XYZ string ( reason to use space in my first post )

Answering your questions,

1. Code: Select all

   ; the paranthesis are required where arithmetic operations are done
   ; [SectionVariable] is used to get the string value of a measure in a line of code, use a colon(:) after it to force numeric value.
   ; In most cases tho, as in your case, both string and numeric values are numeric, so no need of colon postfix.
   ; ===============================
   SomeAction=[!SetVariable VariableName "([MeasureName]+1)"]
   ; ===============================
   

2. Code: Select all

   ; you can use quotes to use spaces at start or end, but while setting an option's value, starting and ending 
   ; white spaces are ignored
   ; but it's a regex pattern and we could do it as
   ; ===============================
   SomeAction=[!SetOption metername InlinePattern  "\sXYZ\s"]
   ; ===============================
   ; since \s denotes white space character
   

Apart from above things see eclectic-tech's code. Another illustration of the same would be:

yes, i could see that what i want to do with the months ( previous and next month, not month of previous and next day ) is probably not what most people would want to do in this type of skin
but also would be nice to learn for future skins how i can do that simple math with some variables ( forget about being dates for a second , just any variables ) using a !setvariable inside a IfTrueAction

Apart from the next posts here is an example of code, which does what is required without setting those variables. Yep, I saw death.crafter's code, however if I'm not mistaken, even if it does work for weekdays and dates, it doesn't for month. The months have the problem of variable lengths. How many days are you adding / extracting from the time stamp of a Time measure returning current day, to get the name of previous / next month, no matter of date? What I mean is that for instance on Jan 1 you have to add 31 days (31 x 86400 seconds) to get the name of next month (February), but if you add the same 31 days on Jan 31, you get March instead of February, because February has only 28 (or in leap years 29) days, so adding 31 days is too much in such a case. To fix this, you have to add a variable number of days. See the TimeStamp option of the [MeasurePrevMonth] and [MeasureNextMonth] measures of the below code.
I didn't remove so far all those IfCondition and IfTrueAction options from the Time measures, just commented them out, to let you see how much easier and shorter is such a code. But in fact they are not needed anymore, you can freely remove them. In this approach there is also not needed to set too complicated InlinePatters. They are handled "on fly" in the String meters themselves ([Day], [Number] and [Month]).
If you want, please test the code and let me know what you think.

i assume that is rainmeter way to say If [MeasureNumber]<5 then make that 1 , else then make it 0 ?

Right. In this case for instance, when day is less than 5 (so on 1st - 4th of month), you extract 31 days (31x86400 seconds) and add 10 days (10x86400 seconds). This means that for the first 4 days of month are extracted only 31-10 = 21 days, which ensures you that you get the previous month, not the one before. For dates after 5th of month, extracting 31 days is perfect, you get the previous month in every case.
In fact the above formula used in the TimeStamp option should have been TimeStamp=([MeasureNumber:TimeStamp]-31*86400+((([MeasureNumber]<5)?1:0)*10*86400)), I just simplified a little bit, omitting the not-needed part of the formula. But I suppose you got the essence (congratulations for this, good job ).

[balala]

now time to torture myself with the spanish version ( hope i don't have to add conditions again, lol )

Don't add them back. With the approach I posted above it'll work.
Just a side note: you don't have to translate the values returned by Time measures. These measures are able to return the string in any language (Spanish for instance). For this you only have to add a FormatLocale=es-ES option to the measures which you want too get the result in Spanish (or if you want another dialect find the proper language identifier here).

[death.crafter]

well, that part was easier than expected, went smooth
learned some useful things on the way so even better


gonna search for a new idea and leave this skin rest for now , just for future reference or whatever this is the final result ( black/white , eng/esp )

Congrats on your first skin...

P.S. Rainmeter is like a webpage, just meters instead of elements lol

[balala]

well, that part was easier than expected, went smooth

Which part? Translating strings returned by Time measures or fixing the coloring problem of your skin?
In any case, I'm glad if you got it working as expected.

learned some useful things on the way so even better

There is always something to learn...

[eclectic-tech]

When you use Section Variables in a measure or meter, you need to add DynamicVariables=1 to those sections.

You use InlinePattern=[MeasureTodayName] and InlinePattern=[MeasureTodayNunmber] in [MeterDayName] and [MeterDayNumber], so adding DynamicVariables=1 to those 2 sections will make the meters update correctly when the measure values change.
