HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[VinDSL]

OK - HOLD the press - got that pesky curly brace Vin you can unwrap your mind - or actually 2 minds better than one lol

Now we can look for it - it is in the code some where in template_cleanup / showtime thing...

I have saved that currdata.html and shall go through ... ha !!!

I swear, we must have been twins, separated at birth. LoL!

We always seem to come up with the same idea(s), at the same time, independently. How can that be?!?!?

I got rid of the closing brace by removing the ${font} tag, at the end of the line that contains [MP], in my template.

AFAIK, this would indeed point to the "template_cleanup / showtime thing", which I've been working on, since 4:00AM.

It would appear that the 'cleanup' routine is wiping out or corrupting everything on that line, to the right of [MP] (except for some aberrations like not removing the closing brace in ${font} et cetera). It just fubars everything I insert on that line, to the right of [MP].

From what I tell, everything else is being handled correctly (time will tell). [MP] is the problem child. Weird!

I'll keep putzing around with it, and see what I can come up with...

[VinDSL]

w00t! Think I got it...

I was wondering why only '[MP]' was being difficult, and nothing else, and my mind started wandering.

I changed the '[p]' in the 'cleanup' function to something more unique (easier to find when editing/testing code).

Added '${font}' to the end of the '[MP]' line, in my template, and it seems to be working now. LoL!

UPDATE 1

* Changed the logical OR operator to AND ('||' to '&&') also.

Not sure how this will affect the langs. Guess I should go test it, huh?

UPDATE 2

Spanish is working in '[MP]' now. I don't *think* it was doing jack before.

If I remember correctly, '[MP]' was displaying in English, even when Spanish was selected.

UPDATE 3

Changed the AND operator back to OR. AND operator was causing everything but '[MP]' to fail. LoL!

Funny thing is, everything is working normally now -- no close bracket et cetera.

This is a grand cat n' mouse game!

Think I'll turn my back on it, for a few minutes, and let it sneak up on me again. Heh!

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------

		0)	sed -i -e "${test2[@]}" $temp_template			;;
		1)	msgout "$showtime_err"					;;
		esac
	fi
	# set +x
}

Go figure!

That was too easy!

I'll keep an eye on it for a while...

HI there - I had to run out shortly after I posted my smoke signal [ damn that wet blanket dried up real fast]

But before I did - I did some checking but just could not report my findings.

We certainly are twins in our mind - if nothing else [there is some obtuse research some where that states that speed of thought is 3 times or is 3 cube times the speed of light ] - I saw your post on the phone and felt I should have made that post - but ...

Yes - the real issue is with sed searching and replacing whole words - I had to make this change last time as language substitution was going wild changing half the words.

If I go back to the old code which is commented just above the present line

# local test1='s`'"$lt1"'`'"$rt1"'`gi' 
local test1='s`\<'"${lt1}"'\>`'"${rt1}"'`gi'

If we remove \< \> it all works fine. Otherwise it is including ${font as part of the whole word - so in cases where you have any ${some text} - it will replace that text you have asked for plus ${some text and you get left with replaced text plus }.

SO I need to get elegant enough code to handle both - because I have so far found that you cannot ask sed to look for whole words and also use regex between \< and \>.

Perhaps I need to make a function which will be called by either or both the arrays to be handled.

OK - here is the change - please test it with language_to_use option also - looking fine

do_cleanup_lang () {
    case $1 in
    1)    temp_clean=( "${template_cleanup[@]}" ) ;;
    2)    temp_clean=( "${do_lang[@]}" )    ;;
    esac

    for p in ${!temp_clean[@]}
        do
            local bl_text="${temp_clean[p]}"
            if [[ $bl_text == *:* ]]; then
                local lt1=${bl_text/\:*}        # get value left of :
                local rt1=${bl_text#*\:}        # get value right of :
                local rt1=$(do_pc_what_case "$rt1")
                case $1 in
                1)    local test1='s`'"${lt1}"'`'"${rt1}"'`gi'        ;;
                2)    local test1='s`\<'"${lt1}"'\>`'"${rt1}"'`gi'    ;;

        done

HI there - I had to run out shortly after I posted my smoke signal [...]

I saw your post on the phone and felt I should have made that post - but [...]

No probs, paramvir!

I'm probably the only guy on the web that doesn't support his own work. You're a saint, by comparison! LoL!

Why not?!?!? No spare time. That's the reason 42dorian started this thread. He didn't have a lot spare time either.

Life would be sooo much easier, if there were 52 hours in a day and 365 days in a week, you know?

OK - here is the change - please test it with language_to_use option also - looking fine

WoW! Looks great!

I'll plug in it, right now...

Thanks!

EDIT

Ran it for an hour in French -- 2 hours in Spanish -- and, an hour in English, so far.

Looks like you aced it!

Is there a way to turn off the '!' notification? I like the idea but don't personally need the alert notification. Sorry if it's obvious and I'm just blind.

HI there AK44 [ I bet you were looking at AK47 as an alternative user name ha ha lol ]

In your conkywx config file you have a variable template_cleanup - to this add '! :' make sure there is a space before and after the single quote characters. Follow the comments for this variable in the config file or the conkywx wiki.

It will look something like so

template_cleanup=( 'NonFedAWOS SAFDARJUNG.*:Safdarjung MADIS' '! :' 'IDELHINE8:GK2' '.*Safdarjung:Saf. Airport' 'Waxing.*:Waxing' 'Waning.*:Waning'  )

On another thought - at 47 C ambient temperature you realise you have sweat pores you never thought existed...

cheers

Actually AK are my initials and 44 is my favorite baseball players number (Hank Aaron). I do use AK47 for some things though Thanks for the help!

Kewl AK44

ok last update did not account for numbers after the exclamation - well we have 5 alerts for a place so

change '! :' to '![0-9]* :'

That is - the square brackets have zero dash nine.

cheers
