Small Idea About Clicking Through Lines Of Quote PlugIn Txt File. [solved with not quote but webparser]

[CodeCode]

Hello,
I have this Idea to use each short line of the quote plugin text file. It is to click to each line in a short text file, where each line is of the tracks of music for MP3 files that cannot be separated due to the mix being continuous.

I am not sure how to make that possible.

TBH, I haven't tries since I have not really seen this before - or do not remember it since so many ideas come through these forums.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Code: Select all

[MeasurePlayList]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=QuotePlugin
PathName=#CurrentList#
Disabled=0
Separator=¶
Subfolders=0
FileFilter=*.txt

A bit more just came to mind. That is to be able to switch this option on or off, depending on the user choice. Also there might be a need to check the folder the MP3 is in so that the option does not go haywire or something.

OK I have the followingh Code.
I am not able to get the Textfile using "File" in the Measure MeasurePath

What AM I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]

[MeasureTrack]
Measure=NowPlaying
PlayerName=CAD
PlayerType=Title

[MeasurePath]

Add PlayerName=CAD to [MeasurePath].

Add PlayerName=CAD to [MeasurePath].

Ok, Cool.

I Got this Far during working on this - the main problem is the Quote Plugin seems only able to be random.

I am hoping for a way to click through lines of a text file without showing the text file.

Here are all of the measures and meters as they are now: The text file has to be named "Tracks.txt."

;----------------- ONE TRACK THING --

Code: Select all

[MeasureTitle]
Measure=NowPlaying

[MeasurePath]

DynamicVariables=1

;------------------------ QUOTE ----

[MeasureQuote]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=QuotePlugin

PathName=[MeasurePath]/Tracks.txt
UpdateDivider=4
FileFilter=*.txt
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterTrack2]

I hope i didnt miss anything for this example.

EDIT: ADDED txt file for reference

Tracks.txt

Edited Code - several things fixed for better readability.

A bit hard to follow without the entire package...

But a few thoughts would be:
Use Webparser instead of the Quote plugin to read the contents of 'Tracks.txt' and have each line be a StringIndex you can reference; this removes the randomness of the Quote plugin.
Add SolidColor=0,0,0,1 on any string meter with mouse actions.

Not sure what else to suggest since I am missing most of your meters, measures, and 'Tracks.txt' which you reference in these snippets.

A full package might help, but may be too much ...

To get the info from Webparser, something like this should work.

Code: Select all

Get=(?(?=.*\r)(.*)\r)

Notes:
I saved the 'Tracks.txt file in the same folder as this skin to test; you may have to change the path in 'URL+...' of the Webparser to wherever your file is located.

The #Get# variable uses lookahead to determine if there is another line \r so make sure the last track is followed by a blank line. This also fails gracefully if there are more or less tracks than the number I try to capture with #Get#'s.

The 'Tracks.txt' should be encoded as ANSI.

The info could be separated into more StringIndexes if you want separate time and title.

[CodeCode]

That looks great, But I am unsure how to cycle through the tracks in real time/

Is that possible with the webparser measures?

Thank for everything so far.

ok, to clarify, How do I gewt this:

The show a different line of text in an single any text meter?

[CodeCode]

So, I am trying this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWebParser]
Measure=WebParser

UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

RegExp=(?siU)^#Get##Get##Get##Get##Get##Get##Get##Get##Get##Get#
LogSubStringErrors=0
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureWebParserChild1]
Measure=WebParser
Url=[MeasureWebParser]
StringIndex=1
;.......
[OneTrack]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureWebParserChild1
Text=%1
W=165
H=75
X=105
Y=r
StringAlign=Left
ClipString=2
FontColor=#CustomColor#
FontSize=11
Antialias=1
DynamicVariables=1
Group=ModeA
Hidden=0

It isnt working - at one point I got %1 to appear for a split second.
