.txt file include

SaschaSP

@strawberry-3-141 great solution from you.
I want to use your solution not for showing Temperatur/ Humidity rather for showing alerts from sensors.

The content from my txt is for example:

Meldung Stellmotor Antrieb blockiert
Zone Nebenantrieb
Zeit 6.Juni 2018 10:40
+++ENDE DER DATEI+++

I change the sensor.js:

Module.register("Home-Status",{
	defaults: {
		updateInterval: 0.5 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 seconds
	},

	start: function(){
		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
	},

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "DATA"){
			this.dataFile = payload;
			this.updateDom();
		}
	},

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		if(this.dataFile){
                        var meldungRegExp = /Meldung = (.*?) /ig;
                        var meldung = meldungRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];

                        var zoneRegExp = /Zone = (.*?) /ig;
                        var zone = zoneRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];

			var zeitRegExp = /Zeit = (.*?) /ig;
			var zeit = zeitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
			wrapper.innerHTML = "Meldung: " + meldung + " , Zone: " + zone + " , "Zeit: " + zeit" ;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}
});

but it dosn´t work.
Firtst problem: my txt have no seperators like = or :
second probleme: my alert text (Meldung) contains of several words
third Problem: only the newest txt should be displayed. The Names from the txt files are for example 20180112090125.txt or 20185912085949.txt etc. It´s not possible to edit the incoming txt names. Best way is to automaticly delete the previous txt

I hope you can help me to Display " Meldung, Zone, Zeit" on my MagicMirror

Best regards

@saschasp you can change your regular expressions to the following:
/Meldung (.*)/ig;, /Zone (.*)/ig; and /Zeit (.*)/ig;. This should help you displaying the data. For the problem with the newest file you need to do the following steps: Scan the directory, sort file list by highest number, read the first file.

Scan the directory https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readdir_path_options_callback

Sort the file names https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort

Read the file https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readfile_path_options_callback

@strawberry-3-141
Ok, i will try step by step.
Beginning with my first probleme:
The Output message (displayed on the mirror) is only displaying one word after the “identifyer-word”

identifyer "Meldung"
Stellmotor Antrieb blockiert
MagicMirror Display only Stellmotor
Antrieb blockiert is missing

The identifyer-wordsare Meldung Zone Zeit

The content from my txt:

Meldung Stellmotor Antrieb blockiert
Zone Nebenantrieb
Zeit 6.Juni 2018 10:40
+++ENDE DER DATEI+++

My edited sensor.js:

Module.register("Home-Status",{
	defaults: {
		updateInterval: 0.5 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 seconds
	},

	start: function(){
		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
	},

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "DATA"){
			this.dataFile = payload;
			this.updateDom();
		}
	},

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		if(this.dataFile){
                        var meldungRegExp = /Meldung (.*?) /ig;
                        var meldung = meldungRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];


                        var zoneRegExp = /Zone (.*?) /ig;
                        var zone = zoneRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];

			var zeitRegExp = /Zeit (.*?) /ig;
			var zeit = zeitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
			wrapper.innerHTML = "Meldung: " + meldung + " Zone: " + zone + " Zeit: " + zeit;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}
});

Result wich is displayed at MagicMirror:

Meldung:Stellmotor Zone:Nebenantrieb Zeit:6.Juni

@saschasp your regular expressens are different from the one i posted, use them and I’m sure it will work

hi,
sorry to be dragging up old posts, but im trying to get my mirror to display the contents of a txt file and i have it partly working… i have the contents displaying on my mirror but its all showing up on one line, how can i display it with each line break as in txt file?

thanks

sdetweil

@banbutcher you will have to replace the line feeds (\n) with html breaks (
)

banbutcher

hi again,

im after getting my script to update my txt file with the names of downloaded movies and tv series… how would i go about reading the title of the series and just having the title and info ie:

if title has S**E** in it then
filename - Archer S01E01pilot 1080p x265.mkv
desired result - Archer S01E01

else its a movie and just add movie name

i think this is the bit of code im to edit but i havent got it working :(

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		if(this.dataFile){
                        var meldungRegExp = /Meldung (.*?) /ig;
                        var meldung = meldungRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];


                        var zoneRegExp = /Zone (.*?) /ig;
                        var zone = zoneRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];

			var zeitRegExp = /Zeit (.*?) /ig;
			var zeit = zeitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
			wrapper.innerHTML = "Meldung: " + meldung + " Zone: " + zone + " Zeit: " + zeit;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}
});

thanks

@banbutcher said in .txt file include:

Archer S01E01pilot 1080p x265.mkv

using the regex tester,
https://regex101.com/

I think this is the regex u want

/.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/

banbutcher

@sdetweil

that worked great…

however, im a little bit stuck again… your expression works fine and return the correct result but only on the first line of the file and only if i remove the [1] from the end of line 5 of the code

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
		if(this.dataFile){
                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/ig;
                        var split = splitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];

			wrapper.innerHTML = split;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}

do i need to stick it in some kind of loop? or am i reading the contents of file wrong?

again thanks for your help :)

sdetweil

@banbutcher is dataFile an array of filenames? then yes, you’ll need a loop.
so, you are moving part of name a, to a new array
then part of name b to the next slot in the array

array.push(item)
adds item to the end of the array

name_of_array =[] initializes name_of_array to be an empty array

then u will need to format the array of partial names

var x = name_of_array.join(separator)
will turn the array into x, a string with separator between the names
