Python Conversion

I have another type of AS that strings together variables and some text or in this case the degree symbol °.
Appreciate a sample of this one if possible.

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
   set the value of variable "WUForecastAll" to (value of variable "WUForecast") & " " & (value of variable "WUHighTemp") & (ASCII character 188) & "/" & (value of variable "WULowTemp") & (ASCII character 188)
end tell


Making good progress on eliminating my AS. Hadn't realized how many I actually used over the last 9 years.

Thanks,

Carl

Try this. I've added lots of comments and separated out each step into it's own line to illustrate the individual steps. Consider it a learning script:

Code: Select all

# Get the high temp value from the Indigo variable (all variable values are returned as strings)
high_temp = indigo.variables[ID_OF_WUHighTemp].value

# Get the low temp value from the Indigo variable (all variable values are returned as strings)
low_temp = indigo.variables[ID_OF_WULowTemp].value

# Get the forecast value from the Indigo variable (all variable values are returned as strings)
forecast = indigo.variables[ID_OF_WUForecast].value

# Create the combined string - notice the embedded degree symbols, they work great
# The open/close bracket notation means that it's going to have a value substituted there
# so the first one will get forecast, the second one high_temp, and the last low_temp. The
# resulting string is something like:
#     Very hot and dry. 103°/75°
combined_forecast = u"{} {}°/{}°".format(forecast, high_temp, low_temp)

# Set the value of the WUForecastAll variable to the combined_forecast string
# just created.
indigo.variable.updateValue(ID_OF_WUForecastAll, value=combined_forecast)

In future scripts, feel free to delete the comment lines (starting with the # sign). Again, I highly recommend doing a Python tutorial, it won't take very long and you'll gain a ton of understanding from doing it.

Really appreciate all the help.
No doubt your notes will be as well.

Many thanks,

Carl

Again, I highly recommend doing a Python tutorial, it won't take very long and you'll gain a ton of understanding from doing it.

Two in particular I recommend are:

Google Python Class
MIT Open Courseware

What's fun about the second one is that you can say that you studied Python at MIT.
