Thank you @il.harun.
Elegant solution as always.
Now we can have both accuwether icon themes with PNG images.

Thanks for reminding me about the liquid icon theme.
I went back many years when I was using Xubuntu and the awesome weather plugin.

Let's start all over again.
Delete the ~/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather_2015 folder.
Create a folder images.
Open ~/Accuweather_conky_script folder and copy Forecast_Images_2015 and Forecast_Images_2016.
Paste to ~/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/images.

Open ~/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/acc_RSS and delete my plugin at the end of the script (Convert WeatherFont to PNG images).

Then find the part:

	for (( i=2; i<=8; i+=3 ))
	    do
	        im=$(sed -n ${i}p $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather)
	        sed -i $i"s/^.*$/$(test_image $im)/" $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather
	    done

Replace with:

        for (( i=2; i<=8; i+=3 ))
	    do
	      cp $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/images/Forecast_Images_2015/$(sed -n ${i}p $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather | awk '{print int($1)}').png $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/day_$j.png

	      im=$(sed -n ${i}p $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather)
	      sed -i $i"s/^.*$/$(test_image $im)/" $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather
	    ((j++))
	    done

Done.

Restart conky.

Are the images day_1.png (Now), day_2.png (Today) and day_3.png (Tomorrow) there?

If you want you can use Forecast_Images_2016:

	      cp $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/images/Forecast_Images_2016/$(sed -n ${i}p $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather | awk '{print int($1)}').png $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/day_$j.png

I kinda like the conkyweather font best for the accuweather-RSS script...

marens · 2024-02-01 23:29:29

^ Of course I accept and respect your opinion.

I also think it's good to have a choice.
Now anyone who wants can easily create a new conky with accuweather PNG images (2015 or 2016).
If he doesn't want to, it's fine.

Could not agree with you more. Simple and elegant.

↓ Two formats ↑

And just plain works!!

Thank you, @marens.
I will definitely try it out with 'Forecast_Images_2016'.

marens · 2024-02-03 14:53:27

@ceeslans

From your screenshot I can see (Currently): Mostly Cloudy: 10C without '°'.
If you want Mostly Cloudy: 10°C you can use the command:

$ sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather | awk 'NF>1{print $NF}' | sed 's/C/°C/g'
10°C

How to get to Mostly Cloudy:

$ sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather | awk '{$NF="";sub(/[ \t]+$/,"")}1' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | awk '{print substr($0,2)}'
Mostly Cloudy:

Explanation:
awk '{$NF="";sub(/[ \t]+$/,"")}1' - Remove the last word
awk '{$1=""; print $0}' - Remove the first word (Currently:)
awk '{print substr($0,2)}' - Remove the blank space at the beginning

Useful to know, @marens.

So far I've just been using "|cut" to remove the 1st 11 characters (ie, "Currently: "). I don't mind just having C and not °C.

marens · 2024-02-04 13:36:19

^ I think the current description of weather is always short.
The longest is: Intermittent Clouds (accuweather conky script).

You can try if you want, but first make a copy of conky.

Find this part:

${goto 75}${voffset -25}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather|cut -c1-20}
${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather|cut -c21-40}
${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather|cut -c41-60}

Replace with:

${goto 75}${voffset -25}Currently:
${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather | awk '{$NF="";sub(/[ \t]+$/,"")}1' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | awk '{print substr($0,2)}' | cut -c1-30} ${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather | awk 'NF>1{print $NF}' | sed 's/C/°C/g'}

Increase the minimum conky width a little (and other things) and test.
If you fail you have a copy of conky.

asqwerth · 2024-02-04 15:02:10

I'm using the accuRSS script to display current weather/temp in a simple horizontal conky.

I think I'll stick to

".... |cut -c12-45}".

The RSS current-weather text is, as you say, short. So giving the text an allowance of up to (45-12+1) characters is more than enough. It makes no difference to the conky display if the text is shorter than that . I don't want to complicate my conky config.

I did learn a little more about awk syntax though, so thanks!

marens · 2024-02-04 18:40:07

^ I always have to pay attention to beginners.
That's why I only use the basic version.

In this case I wanted to make available the excellent forecast images of accuweather conky script (2015 and 2016).
The "°C" part appeared unintentionally.

I think I successfully solved both cases.

This is how it looks (for now):

ceeslans · 2024-02-04 19:31:49

@marens : Ooohh, I've been looking for a way to change the current 'C' into '°C' - but my attempts always failed miserably....
Thanks for the fresh code - and the explanatory notes !

Sector11 · 2024-02-05 01:55:57

Another option to get the " °C " in the output for today's and tomorrow's forecasts, that IMHO is a little cleaner:

Line 4 - today's forecast

${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '4p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather|awk '{print $1,$2"'°C'",$4,$5"'°C'"}'}
${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '4p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather|cut -d ' ' -f7-|fold -s -w26}]

Line 7 - tomorrows forecast

${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '7p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather|awk '{print $1,$2"'°C'",$4,$5"'°C'"}'}
${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '7p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather|cut -d ' ' -f7-|fold -s -w26}]

Sector11 · 2024-02-05 02:27:59

This part I quite like:

${font conkyweather:size=30}${color8}${execpi 600  sed -n '2p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather}${color}${font}
${voffset -10}${goto 75}${color1}BsAS Arg.${color}
${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather | awk '{$NF="";sub(/[ \t]+$/,"")}1' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | awk '{print substr($0,2)}' | cut -c1-30} \
${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /media/5/Conky/accuweather_rss/weather | awk 'NF>1{print $NF}' | sed 's/C/°C/g'}

Thank you marens

I have just tested the RSS script addition that allows the 2016 Images to be displayed. Very nice. Thank you.

Do not worry.
It happens to everyone.
Mental block, fatigue, concentration, mood ...

I don't know the reason why this 'error' exists?
Maybe the developer of accuweather just made a typo years ago.

If my assumption is correct (based on accuweather conky script) then no command is needed: cut -c1-30.

This is the beginning of my SysInfo conky:

Space is very limited but a 'jump' has never happened.

asqwerth · 2024-02-05 16:22:20

@marens - found something relevant to the AccuRSS discussion.

I examined a conky config posted to MX forum long ago that utilised the AccuRSS script. The poster had a shorter way to display just the current weather description without the "Currently" nor the temperature.

${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather|awk -F: 'NF>1{print $2}'}

After doing some reading on awk basics, I see that he defined the colons in line 1 of the weather file as the field separators, such that the whole weather description is field 2.

marens · 2024-02-05 17:23:46

^ There is no one who can remember all the commands.
Things are simple.
When you need something, you try to find it.
It is important that you achieve what you are trying to do.

That command works:

$ sed -n '1p' $HOME/Accuweather_RSS_conky_script/weather|awk -F: 'NF>1{print $2}'
 Mostly Sunny

It creates an empty space at the beginning, but that is easily solved in conky.

For me, the best conky is the one you make yourself.
Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's frustrating, but it's all part of the learning process.
Enjoy!

My "RSS script" has been running since 2014 with minor tweaks to layout etc only because I ignored it for a few years until Teo started dropping support for other scripts did I start playing with it, as the others were changing way too often. He said he used Accu_RSS and it never failed him.
That was good enough for me, I'm old I want 'stability'!

Teo's Accu_RSS script on the right with 2 layouts and Accu-RSS, Openweather and 'remind' for sun|moon data on the left. The one on the left is a few years old now as well.
