(solved)bunsenweather alignr for output

cherkie · 2018-08-10 09:02:00

Hi all,

First post, new to linux, second day using it.

I am currently playing around with my conky (which is nowhere near as nice as the ones posted in 'Show us your conky!' and I wanted to make a small aesthetically pleasing change.

This is my current conky weather section:

https://imgur.com/a/aImTrR7

And I would like the data to be displayed with ${alignr} as it is on the 'Shortcut keys' section.

The code for bunsenweather:

printf "%s: %s\nTemp: %s\nMax Temp: %s\nHumidity: %s\nCloud cover: %s\n" "$city" "$description" "$temperature" "$temperature_max" "$humidity" "$cloud_cover"

I have tried adding ${alignr} before, inside, after "$description" or anything else but nothing works.

Hope it's not too basic of a help post.

Thanks

^the variable ${alignr} is also not used in the script
"bunsenweather.sh", but in the ".conkyrc"

I thought about that, but then how can I make the output of the look certain way?

what does your conkyrc look like?

sorry, I can't help with conky1.10
I have to test that for myself, how to move the output to the right.

cherkie · 2018-08-10 13:30:44

No worries, I will keep trying to make it sit aligned to the right.

Edit.

So I have found

awk

and

column

but I am lost for ideas how would I apply it here:

printf "%s: %s\nTemp: %s\nMax Temp: %s\nHumidity: %s\nCloud cover: %s\n" "$city" "$description" "$temperature" "$temperature_max" "$humidity" "$cloud_cover"

Maybe there is an easier solution...

This works correctly for me in the script:

# Format the output with printf
printf "%s: \${alignr}%s\n\${goto 5}Wind: \${alignr}%d m/s, from %.3d°\n\${goto 5}Temp: \${alignr}%d°C\n\${goto 5}Humidity: \${alignr}%d%%\n\${goto 5}Pressure: \${alignr}%d hPa" "$city" "$condition" "$wind" "$winddir" "$temperature" "$humidity%" "$pressure" 2>/dev/null
