Meter = String does not like a [ in the text field

[lmclaren]

Hi,

I am using ver 2 of Rainmeter.

I have a String Meter with a ToolTip text field using a variable from LUA.

The string in the variable looks like "Good Game [ABC2]" (with quotes as shown) but Rainmeter does not like it, the log is showing the following warning:

WARNING: (00:31:36.437) No such measure [ABC2] for execute string: !RainmeterSetVariable TextItemTT7 "Good Game [ABC2]"

Code: Select all

[Item1Left]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=sTextL
Text=#TextItemL1#
DynamicVariables=1
Y=#h.Item#
FontColor=#TextItemFontColourL1#
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["[mLink1]"]
ToolTipText=#TextItemT1#
ToolTipTitle=#TextItemTT1#

Is there a way to stop the warning?

thanks

Lee

For now, you could use string.gsub in Lua to replace [ and ] with ( and ).

Yeah, I had to do the same thing when an RSS feed contained quotes, as then when you try to pass the data back to Rainmeter it caused problems. I used string.gsub to change " to ' and it was ok.

Thanks, I will give it a try.
