System Variables timestamp **solved**

[satellitedan]

First post! I've been using meteobridge for about a week or so and every day I'm learning something new.

There are a few things I could not find the answer to as far as making an email/twitter script.

Is there a way to remove a leading zero from a timestamp? For example, I would like 08:20am to show up as 8:20am. I've figured out the am/pm thing but not how to remove the leading zero.

The sunrise/sunset & moonrise/moonset timestamps are in 24hr time. Is there a way to convert it to 12hr time?

I've tried [mbsystem-sunset=apm] but that only returns the 24hr time (19:40) instead of 12hr time (7:40).

The actual time is correct, I just can't figure out how to make it display 12hr time.

Thanks!

"apm" converter is not defined for sunset/sunrise. I will add this with one of the next updates.

Regarding the leading zero, in which situation are you looking to get rid of it?

Thank you!

I have a timestamp on a few things, like the min/max temperature. It returns with the leading zero (see attached)

Sorry for the large size, I uploaded it from my phone.

You can select the to be skipped character and make use of an #if# #then# #else# #fi# clause to skip the leading char if it is a zero.

When you post one of your timestamp variable definitions, I can show as an example how to apply this.

I appreciate the help. Here is the code for the first line in the table image I posted earlier:

<tr><td>Outdoor Temp</td><td>[th0temp-act=F.1:--]°F</td><td>[th0temp-dmin=F.1:--]°F <font size='1'>[th0temp-dmintime=apm.ij:--]:[th0temp-dmintime.kl][th0temp-dmintime=apm.op]<font size='3'></td><td>[th0temp-dmax=F.1:--]°F <font size='1'>[th0temp-dmaxtime=apm.ij]:[th0temp-dmaxtime.kl][th0temp-dmaxtime=apm.op]<font size='3'></td></tr>

Thank you for adding this!

I just realized that am & pm do not show up for moonrise/moonset. It is fine for sunrise/sunset.

Here is the code I have for that:
Sunrise [mbsystem-sunrise=apm] - Sunset [mbsystem-sunset=apm]<br>Moonrise [mbsystem-moonrise=apm:NoData] - Moonset [mbsystem-moonset=apm:NoData]

This is how it shows up:

Latest update should that have fixed. AM/PM display option also surpresses leading zeros in the hours field.

Much appreciated!

In version 3.7, =apm no longer has any affect on the output for moonrise/moonset (=utc does, though).

My code (is creating a JSON Map):

Code: Select all

/cgi-bin/template.cgi?template={"moonrise":"[mbsystem-moonrise=apm:null]"}&contenttype=application/json;charset=utf-8

Are you sure that works as you expected in 3.6? Please give it a try. I am no aware that I did changes there, so please confirm that it is a 3.7 bug before I start investing time again on this.

I too am looking to get rid of a leading zero in a string. I am trying to figure out how to do this but do not see an example. Anyway you can help me out?
