Scotsman: This is a superb weather script. Thank you for your efforts.


I've written a few lines to parse out the text lines for the iphone. Just add the new "day1Period1Line1" etc variables and put this as a second action: embedded applescript in your time date action. Modify the control page to see the full forecast. If someone knows how to make it recognize words instead of splitting them that would be great. Modify the character numbers to fit your screen. I'm using Arial 14.

This has been updated to account for up to 6 lines of text.

[edit Feb 27, 2011] Corrected a couple of numbers in the less than/greater than statements.

Realized that forecasts came in different lengths. Modded the script above to account for up to 5 lines of text.

Again, just change the character numbers to match your text size/screen width.

Edited script Feb 27 as the numbers in the less than/greater than statements were off by a digit.

That's awesome hamw. I was wondering how on earth I could get my forecast variables to split across lines. I look forward to adding that to my page, but also hoping that v.5 is going to fix this problem without Applescript gymnastics.

You asked about my weather icons. I uploaded them to the user contribution library here:

http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/filelib/index.php?id=130

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but it was your script that got me motivated. However, I just got a six line forecast so will have to mod script again.....

BTW got the icons, they are great.

Ok, script is updated for 6 lines of text. Let me know if there are any issues.

BTW I have not looked too closely at the weather script but a lot of times when the day prediction (not the forecast but the little blurb for the six day forecast) says clear, the weather condition lists partly cloudy and that is the icon that is selected. Any ideas? Also, is there a way to set the time zone? The icons remain in night phase well after dawn. For instance the night icon is currently displayed and it is 7:30 AM. May just be Wunderground....

Sounds like great pages, but for some reason I cant get them to show here in the forum? anybody else not seeing them?
are they deleted maybe?
