Well, I'm back lol. This time I'm experimenting on creating meters using PowerShell.
When I run this code in PowerShell it works, it writes the lines correctly, but if I do it in Rainmeter it doesn't.
Code:log.txtThe problem seems to be with "+" and "`r`n". If I take them out it works but it writes everything in the same line including `r`n. Should I use some specific syntax for this case?.
When I take the "+" out:Sinces quotes " are necessary for the ` escape character to work on PowerShell, I also tried with double and triple quotes but no change.
This is the measure:Edit.
Well, I changed the approach and this worked:
Here's the complete code in case it is useful for someone else:
Test.ini
When I run this code in PowerShell it works, it writes the lines correctly, but if I do it in Rainmeter it doesn't.
Code:
Code:
(Get-Content "test.ini" -Raw) + "`r`n[Meter5] `nMeter=Shape `nMeterStyle=Meterstyle" | Set-Content "test.ini"Code:
On line: 1 Character: 30+ (Get-Content test.ini -Raw) + `r`n[Meter5] `rMeter=Shape `rMeterS ...+ ~You must provide a value expression after the '+' operator.On line: 1 Character: 31+ (Get-Content test.ini -Raw) + `r`n[Meter5] `r`nMeter=Shape `r`nMeterS ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Unexpected token '`r`n[Meter5]' in the expression or statement. + CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpressionWhen I take the "+" out:
