Serial Read for Action

[Wilson2517]

Hi,

I need know how can do capture of "log" and execute an action, but I need to do capture a block to string.
for example:

I have a this string from "Log"
19:26:18 Puerto Virtual.├Á├Á├▓"├│RSWXCHA├┤P01:0├Á├Á├▓ ├│RMINSPR├┤09 03 010000000

Now I need capture only (P01:0)

How can to do for capture this block?

Attach image.

Thanks for Help.

From what I understand you would like to extract the content of the event payload.

You can get the data from eg.event.payload.

1-Create a new macro
2-Add the action python script
3-Add this to the script : print eg.event.payload
4-Assign your event to this macro

Try this (copy from here, paste in EG)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1610">
    <Macro Name="Python Script" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="Puerto Virtual.├â┬Á├â┬Á├â┬▓" />
        <Action>
            EventGhost.PythonScript(u'data = eg.event.payload\nprint data')
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

Hi miljbee.

The event name works, but I have a block the string.

My string is 17:07:11 Alarmas.90100032 Date Time MAY 02/12 5:31a0B

How can capture only "Time" from this string??? if I put 17:07:11 "Alarmas.90100032 Date Time MAY 02/12 5:31a0B" works perfect but I need Only capture Time

in the python script use:

variable[x:y]


Where x is the starting position of the time and y is the end position.
REMINDER the first position is 0.
