HS Visu: variable text display

[Warichet]

Hi,

I'm using a dynamic text which is controlled by a variable (IconIndex with values 1-12).
This works fine, but the output text is sometimes too big to fit in the right place. i.e 1=text 2=long text 3=much longer text 6=really very long text

So I would like to use the "Text in Zeilen module" to cut the sentence into single words for proper display, but don't know how to set-up the stuff
So my question is: how can I capture the content of the sentence pointed to by IconIndex and fit it into "Text in Zeilen" ?

Maybe write a logic module that translates the numeric value into the corresponding text, and fit the ouput into "Text in Zeilen".

Maybe a better idea ? maybe such a module exists already ?

Thanks
Raymond

Hi Raymond,

i´m realy not an expert, more an bloody amateur, but i´ve seen some days ago an Logik-modul with an scrolling Text-function.

Could be the right solution for you...
i can not found the download-link.... please send me an PN with you mail-addy, and you will receive an hsl-file...

It is possible to use BEFEHLE to set a word, like your small text on an 14Byte variable.
after that use a VERGLEICHER to set the different texts on one 14Byte Variable. After that you can use die logicmodul TEXT-ABSCHNEIDEN (weich) and put the output on diftet 14Byte´s (E.g. First Line, Second Line, etc) If the text is now longer then the WEICHABSCHNEIDEN- length the rest of the text is written to second output.
First Line is now your firs line you have to place as first shown linie in your Visu

Thank you very much for the clever trick.
I'll try it asap.

Hi Christian,
Sorry to be a pain, but I'm unable to start.
Suppose I've a numeric variable (which I get from evaluation of a web site). This variable is used as an index to acces some text.
What would be the first step in the chain ?

Thank you for your patience with a HS newbie.

PS: to make the matter even worse, my Experte is in....english

such a module does already exists: http://www.eib4fun.de/homeserver/hs_...ml#Textumbruch

it splits a longer text into as many lines with given characters as you want.
my page is in german but maybe the picture tells you all you need.

Hi Tilo,

But my problem is not cutting a long sentence into smaller chunks but rather how can I catch the output of a dynamic text (which is too long) and re-direct it into a 14Byte variable. Once it's there, the problem is solved and I can use your module.

Thank you for the tip.
Raymond
btw: do you know about an "array" module or a "translation table" module ? That would do the trick as well, I could use the numeric variable as index to the table/array send the output to another 14Byte variable and finally cut it into slices.

you could use my "conditional text" module to generate a dynamic text.

Yes, indeed, but it doesn't do exactly what I want, so I'm trying to write my own module (my Python skills are below average)
I understand that the syntax for accessing an element of an array is:
(SN[1])
But instead of a fixed value, could I use a variable as index ? like:
(EN[EN[17]])
I've no error, but it doesn't work, so I guess there is something wrong.

Any tip is welcome

you should post the source of you module to get any hints ... a select a string by value operator should be very easy to write ...

OK, it's just 1 line

Aaah !?! tell me more

Have you realized, that you do not send your result to output1??

5012|0|""|"(EN[EN[17]])"|""|0|0|1|0
This means intrenal variable 1 which has not been set.

5012|0|""|"(EN[EN[17]])"|""|1|0|0|0
This should work

Yes, but I can make more than 1 mistake in 1 line

Thank you very much Matthias

5012|0|""|"(EN[EN[17]])"|""|1|0|0|0

I'm unable to make it work.
I tried to pass via a memory variable (although not really needed) no result.
Anyone having a sharp eye to see something wrong ? maybe the whole logic is wrong if it is'nt supposed to work this way.

Thanks
Raymond

I think, it is generally not possible to make a reference like taht.

If you have a look at this original DACOM logic module, you will see, how they do a similar problem:
