Parsing Events

[falkyre]

Sounds good to me. I don't mind playing with the scripting (wanted to learn Python anyways) but it might make things more powerful for users that don't want to get their hands dirty coding and want to just manage creating everything via the GUI.

Thanks again for everything!

I started a new page in the wiki, that should explain some things related to scripting in EG:

Thanks!

I think I'm going to start looking into the code a bit so I can get more familiar with it. Thanks for all of your help.

I have enabled file-listing for http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/ so you can always see, which version is the newest "experimental pre-release" I have uploaded.

Keep in mind, that if the newest version is an "_Update.exe", you have to install the latest "_Setup.exe" before.

[falkyre]

Cool,

Thanks for doing that. Just to let you know that with your help, I have now sucessfully got MediaPortal working at changing channels on my set top box.

Thanks!

I have encountered an issue...

I have a macro called "Normal All" and have an event assigned to it named "Tira.*"

This works great!

Now also in that same macro I have the action (Jump if long press) called "If button is held down 0.5 sec, go to: Repeat All"

I have another macro called "Repeat All", this has an action (AutoRepeat Current Macro) assigned to is called "Autorepeat current macro: 0.5"

so....

Code: Select all

-... Normal All
|    |...(Event) Tira.*
|    L...(JILP) If button is held down 0.5 sec, go to: Repeat All
|
-... Repeat All 
     L...(ARCM) Autorepeat current macro: 0.5

(Yeah I know, My ascii art sux)

Now when I press a remote button once I get the event in the logger (GREAT).
But when I press and hold a remote button i get the jump if held executing but only 1 autorepeat in the logger, no continuous autorepeat.

I have tested by making the "Tira.*" event an actual button event (Tira.A386F5D755D5) and I get the held down event and the autorepeats "continuously" (until i release the button of course).

Cheers!

Do you mean, this only happens if you use wildcarded events? I have a similiar macro working for volume control. On a single press it only changes the value by one percent. On long press it does an autorepeat with two percent increments.

Code: Select all

        <Macro Name="Decrease Volume" id="533" Expanded="True">

            </Action>
            <Action>
                EventGhost.ShowOSD(u'Volume: {int(eg.result)}%', u'0;-32;0;0;0;400;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;', (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 3.0)

Yes, that's right, only happens for wild card events.

[Bitmonster]

I just looked at the source of 851 and there seems no difference in the handling of wild carded events or fully qualified events. So this is mysterious. Is there any other macro kicking in before?

[thug]

Oh... that's weird....

No, no macro beforehand.....

back to weird....

I just disabled my "Normal All" and recreated it ("Test run") and now it works fine.

Sorry for the bogus post.

Hello,

I have an event and it looks like this:

Code: Select all

19:55:14   Main.UPM.DeviceCode|1|UPM.HouseCode|8|UPM.Humidity|106|UPM.LowBattery|0|UPM.Temp|1204|

I try to parse it using wild cards in the macro. I would like to use

Code: Select all

UPM.DeviceCode|1|UPM.HouseCode|8|.*

but so far I have only managed with

Code: Select all

*

Can you provide me with some hints of what "wildcarding" is working?

Best regards, Walter

[Bartman]

Middle parts won't work. I guess thatwould make it neccessary to match against a lot of combinations

Code: Select all

Main.UPM.DeviceCode|1|UPM.HouseCode|8|.*

including "Main." should work.

[krambriw]

Thanks Bartman,
Unfortunately it doesn't work either,,,
Maybe some characters in the string is messing up things
