WebParser - two urls that can switch, how to handle dynamically?

Post by krel »

I figure there's probably an easy way to handle this, I'm just new to rainmeter scripting so I could use a pointer or two. I am reading the battery status of a couple logitech devices using LGSTray - https://github.com/andyvorld/LGSTrayBattery - and apparently the device info isn't in a consistent order. Here's my two webparser readers.

Code: Select all

[MouseBatt]
Measure=WebParser
URL=http://localhost:12321/device/dev00000000
RegExp=(?siU)<battery_percent>(.*)</battery_percent><mileage>(.*)</mileage><charging>(.*)</charging>

[KbdBatt]
Measure=WebParser
URL=http://localhost:12321/device/dev00000001
RegExp=(?siU)<battery_percent>(.*)</battery_percent><mileage>(.*)</mileage><charging>(.*)</charging>
And, here's the xml I'm parsing.

Code: Select all

<xml><device_id>dev00000000</device_id><device_name>G915 Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard</device_name><device_type>Keyboard</device_type><battery_percent>99.00</battery_percent><mileage>34.00</mileage><charging>False</charging></xml>

<device_id>dev00000001</device_id><device_name>G502 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse</device_name><device_type>Mouse</device_type><battery_percent>68.00</battery_percent><mileage>17.00</mileage><charging>True</charging></xml>
The problem is that the device order can switch - my original order was with the mouse as dev0 and the kbd as dev1. How do I dynamically grab each of these and then use the correct one later in my script? Obviously I'll have to grab the device_name, not a big deal, but when I use it further along like this, I'm not sure how to do this correctly.

Code: Select all

[MouseBattPercent]
Measure=WebParser
;Measure=Calc
Formula=MTM
URL=[MouseBatt]
StringIndex=1
MinValue=1
MaxValue=100

I would make the webparser [Dev0Batt] and [Dev1Batt] and grab the device name, then do a IF statement on the device name to update your measure.

Give it a shot and post your skin to have use look at if it it's still not working.
