Just to know, have you seen my previous question?

Hi me again...

a quick question, I am looking for an option to go to the next line after a certain numbers of characters, trouble is the output of my scheddule is often too long, so i whish to cut the lenght by half, but if I use the "maximum_width" option it's just cut the text from one side.

Do you know what I mean?

Thanks

Yeah word wrap is a problem with conky but you can use this script by Heiner Steven

save it in your script folder called wordwrap.sh

Then call the code in a bash script like this:

cat ~/journal/gcal.txt | ~/scripts/wordwrap.sh -w 46 -o 10 > ~/journal/gcalWW.txt

where 46 is word wrap characters.
gcal.txt is where the original Google calendar is retrieved to.

Unfortunately, that word wrap program removes the whitespace that keeps times and dates inline vertically. Does anyone know of another word wrap script (or have the skills to edit this one) so that whitespace is not removed during the wrapping procedure?

could you show me what you mean with a screenshot?

Yeah it doesn't , I remember when looking for this it was listed as a TODO by the original coder.

You might want to search for a python word wrap script.
e.g.

With Python it is a lot easier for someone new to edit the code.

Off-topic - while doing the search I just came across that even Aptana doesn't have a wordwrap function

Hi All,

I don't mean to steal anyone's thunder, but I thought this was a good place to make mention my post, and get some feedback.

I have created a Google Calendar python script specifically for Conky, which uses the gdata api rather than the cli app talked about here. I've done this on the premise that it should be much more customizable than would otherwise be possible.

You can find the post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837385

I would appreciate some feedback on the script and any suggestions for further functionality are welcome.

Key feature are:

• Utilises the Google Calendar API.
• Supports the use of a template to define the layout of each event output
• Supports regional datetime formats, by way of system locales
• Optional event limit so you can reduce the total output in Conky if you have lot's of events, events should be returned earliest first (needs testing)

I have already created a weather forecasting script for Conky in much the same manner, which has gone down well, and I hope the same can be the case for this one.

Cheers
