I'm trying to get the computer to tell me the weather and wunderground returns a nice text string that I'm trying to use. But I'm not interested in the wind conditions so I'm trying to trim that bit off but I can't figure out how to get Results.RegEx to match properly.
To test it I wrote this macro that sets last result, try to match the wind part and then replace it with a space character:
Results.SetLastResult Overcast in the morning, then mostly cloudy. Winds from the South at 15 to 20 km/h.
Results.RegEx (Wind.*)
Results.Replace {match.1} && " "
OSD.ShowText {lastresult}
Wanted result: "Overcast in the morning, then mostly cloudy. "
Seen result: "Overcast in the morning, then mostly cloudy. Winds from the South at 15 to 20 km/h."
It doesn't work and I can't figure out why. Tried lots of expressions but nothing seems to match.
Hi Telorast.
Welcome to the community and thank-you for your question. I'm not 100% sure why your method is not working, but I can tell you the easier way to do it that works.
Instead of using two actions:
Results.RegEx...
Results.Replace...
use one action:
Results.RegExReplace (Wind.*)
and leave the 2nd param blank.
I don't know all the possible strings that WUnder could return so I don't know if anything more sophisticated would be required to keep possibly useful information that comes after Wind... but this should get you on the right track.
Thanks, somehow the same expression matched in RegExReplace.
