wxnow template

[wmiler]

Does anybody have a template for generating a wxnow.txt format file?

Thanks,

Should be easy, do you have a definition for the wxnow.txt file?

[wmiler]

The definition is here:
http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Wxnow.txt

The problem I ran into, is the date must be of the form:
Feb 01 2009 All I seem to be able to generate is of the form: 01/30/12

Also, I need the barometer to output in mb not inches, but I need to
keep
it in inches for regular web display.

Everything else I think will parse correctly.

Thanks,

Um, I can't do that thru wview I imagine, I'm guessing some kind of
post-process script?

Ok, so this is what I've got in my post-generate.sh:
echo "`date "+%b %d %Y %H:%M"`" | cat - wxnow.txt >/tmp/out && mv /tmp/
out wxnow.txt
This gets the date formatted and located correctly:

--
Jan 31 2012 13:16
167/4g4t66.2P0.00h22b30.384
--

This now only leaves getting the barometer into the correct units. Any
thoughts?

Mind you, I stink at sed/awk, I would imagine I'll need to find a way
to extract the 30.384, do the calc, and replace it in the file.

If you can tell me what format you want it in, I can probably whip up an awk script for it. You should be able to do the whole thing in a single awk call. For example, assuming that wxnow.txt contains the 2nd line in your e-mail, you could use:

awk '{print strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M"); print}' ~/wxnow.txt

On reflection, after I read the UK Met WOW thread, I realized there
was a significantly easier way to go about this. Now I just need to
remember out how to get single digit numbers to be left-padded with
0's as needed for the spec. Seems like printf has a call for that....

Thanks for everybody's help tho, it's been a long time since I've
played with wview (if it ain't broke, don't mess with it :).

I just found the spec -- I think this will do what you're looking for:

awk '{print strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M"); split($0,a,"b");printf"%sb%d\n",a[1],a[2]*338.639}' ~/wxnow.txt

Ok, this should work, posting here for anybody that needs this.

The file below should be named wxnow.shx, and placed in the html
template directory, and added to the html-template.conf file for
generation.

-- CUT HERE --
#!/bin/bash
# wxnow.shx
# Generates a shell script for processing with etc/wview/post-
generate.sh
# to create a wxnow.txt file
# Spec for wxnow.txt file is here: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Wxnow.txt

# 2012 Wyatt Miler CW4149

DATE=`date "+%b %d %Y %H:%M"`;
WIND=<!--windDirectionDegrees-->;
WINDSPD=<!--windSpeed-->;
WINDGST=<!--windGustSpeed-->;
OUTTEMPIN=<!--outsideTemp-->;
OUTTEMP=`echo "($OUTTEMPIN+0.05)/1" | bc`;
RAIN=<!--dailyRain-->;
OUTHUM=<!--outsideHumidity-->;
BAROIN=<!--barometer-->;
BARO=`echo "((($BAROIN*33.835)+0.05)*10)/1" | bc`;

echo $DATE > wxnow.txt
printf "%03d/%03dg%03dt%03dP%03dh%03db%05d\n" "$WIND" "$WINDSPD"
"$WINDGST" "$OUTTEMP" "$RAIN" "$OUTHUM" "$BARO" >> wxnow.txt

-- CUT HERE --

In etc/wview/post-generate.sh add the following line:

bash ./wxnow.sh

That should do it.
