Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work?
f = open("E:\eventghost web server\test.txt")
data = f.read
if data=="622":
eg.TriggerEvent("HTTP.onkyo.receiver.zone2.poweroff");
if data=="922":
eg.TriggerEvent("HTTP.onkyo.receiver.zone2.poweron");
f.close()

Traceback (most recent call last):
Python script "2", line 1, in <module>
f = open("E:\eventghost web server\test.txt")
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('r') or filename: 'E:\\eventghost web server\test.txt'

Unless you are 100% sure that the data content is exactly the string you write (no white space or hidden chars), I would do like this
Code: Select all
f = open("E:\\eventghost web server\\test.txt")
data = f.read
if data.find("622") != -1:
eg.TriggerEvent("HTTP.onkyo.receiver.zone2.poweroff");
if data.find("922") != -1:
eg.TriggerEvent("HTTP.onkyo.receiver.zone2.poweron");
f.close()

it gave me an error saying: if data.find("622") != -1:
9:06:59 AM AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'find'
I noticed in the latest version of event ghost I can put a query registry action followed by a jump to (if last action was successful) action. I can then add that 2 action combination in the same macro to effectively create an if-then-elseif-statement.
This program is REALLY powerful.
