Python to Find/Replace Text

I'm attempting to switch from Fantastic Weather to the NOAA plugin but am having issues with all the possible weather conditions
and corresponding icons I use.

Hoping I can revise my script to find certain words in a variable and set my icon variable accordingly.
e,g, precip, mist to simply mist.

Here's the script I've been trying.

Code: Select all

theText = indigo.variables[175134881].value
if "Clear" in theText:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(175134881, value="Sunny")
elif "Cloudy" in theText and "Mostly" in theText:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(175134881, value="Cloudy_Mostly")

Thanks,

Carl

And what does or doesn't work when you use that script?

One thing I would do is change the first line to:

Code: Select all

theText = indigo.variables[175134881].value.lower()


Then you can test with lower case strings and it'll work no matter that case they are in the variable.

Thanks for the tip on upper and lower case.

The problem is NOAA comes up with dozens of descriptions for conditions.
For example I’d just like the script to convert something like ”partially clear” to just “clear.”.
Or, “likely light snow”, to “snow”.

Thanks,

That script should work then, if you're just looking for specific keywords.

I assume it’s not working because of the case issue which I’ll fix later and see if that’s it.

Thanks,

Still no go. If it returns "light rain" it doesn't change to "Rain".

Code: Select all

elif "Rain" in theText and "Light" in theText:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(175134881, value="Rain")

Thanks,

You really need to show your current code and the input text if you expect help.

Sorry if it was confusing.
For now just trying to get this to work:

Code: Select all

theText = indigo.variables[175134881].value.lower()
if "Overcast" in theText:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(175134881, value="Overcast")
elif "Rain" in theText:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(175134881, value="Rain")

So if the variable became "mostly overcast" it would set it to "overcast".

thanks,

Carl

Your input text is now all lower case, so you need to change the if statements to match.

Is there a way to make it ignore upper/lowercase?

The states are all over the place. Just got one “Unknown, misty, rain”.

Thanks,

Carl

What I said to do does that. Just use "rain" not "Rain" in your script.

Tried a number of variations, upper and lower case, but none work.

Code: Select all

theText = indigo.variables[175134881].value.lower()
if "fog" in theText:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(175134881, value="Fog")


If the variable contains, "patchy fog" it doesn't convert it to "Fog".

Thanks,

Carl

You're doing something wrong. That script worked exactly right for me. The only thing I changed was the variable ID.

Doh, was using a condition that no longer worked.

Works great, thanks for the help.
