And what is wrong? Because it works for me. Check the encoding of the tru.txt file. It should be UTF-8, however I believe not this is the problem. So what is not working? Even if the strings doesn't match, the meters are not shown?

I dont know balala.
"tru.txt" file was saved in UTF-8 format.
Meters are not visible even if IfMatch is true/false

PS: I mistyped the tru.txt file content.

Code: Select all

(?siU)<a href=".*">Example1</a>

PS: I mistyped the tru.txt file content.

So is it working now, with the fixed file content?

It doesn't work, balala.
Probably, i doing something wrong but i dont know what...

[balala]

It doesn't work, balala.

Ok, please pack the whole TRU config (if I'm not mistaken this is your config, right?) and upload the package here, to can check it.

Try replacing the IfMatch option of the [MeaCheck] measure with the following one: IfMatch=^#LastOne#$. The added ^ and $ characters are used to tell Rainmeter that the #LastOne# variable has to match the complete value of the [MeaCheck] measure. Without these characters, if the value of the #LastOne# variable is contained in the value of the [MeaCheck] measure, but it's not the whole string of the measure, the match still goes on and the IfMatchAction is executed, while IfNotMatchAction isn't.
And exactly this is the case in your example: the measure returns Example12 (based on the content of the tru1.txt file), while the #LastOne# variable is Example1. This variable matches what the measure returns (in fact it is contained into the value of the measure), even if not the whole value of the measure.

Additional note: it is not a good idea to use a complete and exact path of a file. The C:\Users\Hasan Tahsin\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\TRU\tru1.txt path can be used only on your computer, it doesn't work on any other (neither on mine) (used in the URL option of the [Feed] measure). Recommend to use some built-in variables in this path. For instance any of the following options work:

• URL=file://#CURRENTPATH#tru1.txt
• URL=file://#SKINSPATH#TRU\tru1.txt
• URL=file://#SKINSPATH##CURRENTCONFIG#\tru1.txt

This way you ensure your skin will be usable by others as well on their own computer, without having to edit the path.

One last question.
How can I support different language characters?
example: & => &amp or г => г

Try adding a DecodeCharacterReference=1 option to the WebParser measure which returns the value (so in this case to the [MeaItem] measure).
