Uptime

[pashashocky]

A long time ago, I remember, you used to be able to measure uptime...

Could anyone please remind me of a correct way to do this

Thanks, pash.

Ps. i know that its something to do with Uptime... would it look like this?

Code: Select all

[Measure]
Measure=Uptime

[Uptime]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=StyleUptime
MeasureName=Measure

[StyleUptime]
......

Code: Select all

[Measure]
Measure=Uptime

[Uptime]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=StyleUptime
MeasureName=Measure

[StyleUptime]
......

Yes, that would work.

Could you please help me out with the Format for the Uptime Measure...

I want to set it to Hours Mins Sec

Thanks....

For some reason this doesnt work.

Code: Select all

[MeasureUptime]
Measure=Uptime
Format="%H.%M.%S"

Try:

Code: Select all

Format="%3!02i!:%2!02i!:%1!02i!"

yeah i know about

Code: Select all

substitute

and

Code: Select all

postfix

but what i really needed is format :P

This is what really helped me

I find that Format looks cleaner in the code than Substitute. And it's much simpler to use

Code:
[MeasureUptime]
Measure=UPTIME
Format="%4!i! Days, %3!i! Hours, %2!i! Minutes"


This would give "3 Days, 5 Hours, 53 Minutes"
%4 Gives the Days
%3 Gives Hours
%2 Gives Minutes
And, if you really want, you can show seconds with %1

!i! Will just show the number as is -- 1,2,3...,14,15,16
You can replace that with !02! which will automatically append a zero in front of single digit numbers -- 01,02,03...14,15,16

And you can change Days to D or whatever you want it to say. Take out the commas if you want. It's much easier in my mind than using substitute.

I guess this is not the place to find experts in Litestep, but still is there anyone who could help out?

I think the highlighted part deserves to be in the Full Manual for Rainmeter

I think it is pretty clear, and the example already has something similar.
