This actually took a few days to do, life kept getting in the way. So to relax, I worked on a conky.
On the left is the default conky that comes with 1d1_Accuweather_INT_Images, by TeoBigusGeekus, you'll need the script, on the right a new layout.
Both are set to use General Urquiza, CABA, Argentina.
The conky:

Your Conky looks good as usual.
Yeah I've been tweaking my Conky (along with other customizations) a lot over the holidays and after work to unwind. I keep adding features and then a day later removing them. I've been learning more about the "grep" command to use it more efficiently, however "awk" still confounds me and I can't find anything online that really explains how to use it to do the things I want in Conky (I am making a little progress with it through trial and error though).
Aside from Conky I've also been working a lot on getting my ROM (N64 & SNES emulators) files to appear independently in my Unity Dash so that they be launched as stand alone game apps. Been having to learn a little about how unity works and how to use gimp to add transparency to my custom icons.
I did find my Conky "Public IP Address" display did not function correctly when my laptop is logged on to the network at work. I might look into why that is at some point. I believe I use the code
I suspect my work network blocks access to that web address.Code:pre_exec wget -O - http://ip.tupeux.com | tail

Who's Awesome? You're Awesome.
@ Petro Dawg
Thanks for the compliment. Funny thing is most conkys I do just get archived and end there. They may or may not become a base for the next 'generation' if you will. But I enjoy it, that's the mane thing. Once I get something really like it usually stays on my desktop for a 6-8 months to a year then I change it "just because".
I know what you mean about grep and awk, and for me, you can toss sed in the pot as well. It all looks like some sort of secret Enigma Code, and when someone uses all three together ... I'm like a sailboat in a Sargasso Sea!
RE the Public IP ... could that be because of a firewall? (I'm like a fish out of water with this, I only have a desktop and have never had a laptop)
AWK is like GREP and SED together and more.
First, you must understand AWK logic, then any site with functions list will be enough.
AWK either reads a file or reads STDIN, and process everything line by line. If for example CURL spill result in one line then both GREP and AWK will be useless.
By default, AWK uses space char as delimiter. Delimiter is part that split lines into a data chunks, that could be accessed as numbered variables: $0 for full line, $1 for first data chunk, $2 for second data chunk and so on.
It differs from CUT because AWK use any number of this delimiter char as splitter while CUT uses only one character.
So, for AWK, stringhave two data chunks, "Hey" for $1 and "Ho" for $2, while for CUT, you have 11 data chunks with 9 spaces in between "Hey" and "Ho".Code:"Hey Ho"
That was delimiter, "-F" operator. You could use any char for that... for example "H":
Then, any command must be between single quote clause (').Code:echo "Hey Ho" | awk -F"H" '{print "#"$1"#"$2"#"$3"#"}'
First, you must chose a line of text to process, like with GREP.
You either use REGEX for that ("//") or, if need to use variables, compare pattern/variable to variable $0:
both will print lines where "temp1" pattern exists.Code:echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/' echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '$0 ~ "temp1"'
Now, if we have GREP part done, we must chose which data chunk to print:
Code:echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/ {print $1}' echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/ {print $2}'
Now, we can add some string manipulation functions (as like SED).
You can manipulate whole line or specific data chunk only.
For example "gsub" function, to replace pattern.
When we want to change "F" to "C" in temperatures then:
There might be more capital "F" in line, so you must be more specific as to in which data chunk to do it:Code:echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/ {gsub(/F/,"C"); print}'
As you see, "gsub" function uses regex to search for a pattern, so some chars are registered as a special characters (command characters). In that cases, if you search for that specific character it must be escaped by "\" character.Code:echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/ {gsub(/F/,"C",$2); print}'
For example, let's search for dot and zero and remove them from string:
regexp "\.." search for dot character ("\.") and for any single character thereafter ("."), and then it replaces them with "" (empty string).Code:echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/ {gsub(/\../,"",$2); print}'
Want to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Code:echo -e "temp0 0.0°F\ntemp1 666.0°F\ntemp2 -100.0°F" | awk '/temp1/ {sub(/.F/, "", $2); $2=($2-32)*(5/9); sub(/\..+/, "", $2); print $0"°C"}'
- /temp1/ - chose line with "temp1" in it
- sub - replaces pattern to a string once ("gsub" do it to the end of line)
- /.F/ - "sub" search for a "any single character and capital F"
- "" - "sub" replaces pattern with empty string
- $2 - whole operation done on $2 data chunk
- $2=($2-32)*(5/9) - mathematical conversion of clean number inside of $2, from Fahrenheit to Celsius (result in floating point number)
- sub - clearing floating point
- /\..+/ - search for "dot and any character after"
- "" - replace with empty string
- $2 - operation done on $2 data chunk
- print - print the result
- $0 - print whole line ($2 is inside whole line, and was changed by previous string manipulation functions)
- "°C" - "degree Celsius" string to print

@ dk75
Thanks a lot for the simple English explanation of awk. I bookmarked this page of the tread so I refer to it later when I'm working on my Conky. I will try to incorporate it into my Conky this weekend.
Who's Awesome? You're Awesome.
I couldn't wait until this weekend to start using the new tricks I learned from dk75's explanation of AWK. I updated my code and replace most of the "grep" with "awk".
I still have an instance where I think grep is the better choice as I want to limit device names plugged in to my USB ports to just 10 characters so their memory displays don't get pushed off the edge of Conky if they happen to have very long names. But with Conky (and Linux in general), I am sure there are many different ways to accomplish that goal.
Here's the my latest and greatest configuration.
My right (laptop) monitor gets down to business with just about anything I might need through out the day and a Conky that displays just about all the important system information I can think to display.
My left monitor now proudly displays all my favorite SNES and N64 games (as well as a few native Linux gems). It took a while to make .sh files for all my roms and get them linked to icons (some custom made) and searchable by Unity Dash.
