Need help with an .lua script for conky please [SOLVED]

[Logansfury]

Hello everyone,

I am working with a weather conky, and the return from the weather site api comes in lowercase. I have a script to format provided text - in this case the variable "wetter[1]" - into all words first letter capitolized.

Unfortunately what works in a terminal doesnt work in conky, I'm sure I did something wrong. Can anyone help?

Original code:

Code: Select all

write_text(cr, 20,20,wetter[1], {align="l", size=12, bold=true, color="0xff0000"})

My edit attempt:

Code: Select all

write_text(cr, 20,20,{execi 60 echo wetter[1] | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){$i=toupper(substr($i,1,1)) tolower(substr($i,2))}}'
, {align="l", size=12, bold=true, color="0xff0000"})

Can anyone see where I messed up?

LUA itself can handle this. Paste this Function:

Code: Select all

function firstCharUp(str)
    return (str:gsub("^%l", string.upper))
end

bevor the Line: function conky_main()

call:

Code: Select all

write_text(cr, 20,20,firstCharUp(wetter[1]), {align="l", size=12, bold=true, color="0xff0000"})

Hello Bleys

I actually already found the solution to this online but forgot to mark the post as [SOLVED].

I used this line of code:

Code: Select all

wetter[1] = string.gsub(wetter[1], "%f[%l]%l", string.upper)
