Minus sign of the change indicators not present for minus

[moppedhausi]

Hello,

very strange, this display is shown alternately.
Image1 is not correct here the minus sign "-" would be missing
Image2 is correct

Where can I find the error?

The sign is CMX generated to realtime.txt I don't know why the minus sign is not generated. @mcrossley?

Btw: would it be possible to save your remarks and when the lists get's too long (OK... subjective ) or a certain time has passend (depending on how fast you work ) you create a topic here? Of course if it is a fatal you report immediately.

[moppedhausi]

Ok I'm doing

right Hans,
once Cumulus writes with "+" and once without.

19.01.23 10:03:32 1.0 100 1.0 13 7 94 1.2 2.8 1005.4 E 3 km/h C hPa mm 126.4 +0.6 81.0
19.01.23 10:02:52 1.0 100 1.0 13 12 148 1.2 2.8 1005.2 SSE 3 km/h C hPa mm 126.2 0.7 81.0

No idea, the code is...

Code: Select all

if (station.presstrendval > 0)
	file. Write('+' + station.presstrendval.ToString(PressFormat, InvC) + ' '); // 19
else
	file. Write(station.presstrendval.ToString(PressFormat, InvC) + ' ');

So...
1 --> "+1.0"
-1 --> "-1.0"
0 --> "0.0"

Code: Select all

					if (station.presstrendval > 0)
						file.Write('+' + station.presstrendval.ToString(PressFormat, InvC) + ' '); // 19
					else
						file.Write(station.presstrendval.ToString(PressFormat, InvC) + ' ');

So...
1 --> "+1.0"
-1 --> "-1.0"
0 --> "0.0"

I will wait with a comment until I will see a down trend (now it is all up on my station).
Well here it is all negative.

So I think there is an issue with the PressFormat.

[mcrossley]

Positive here too, but in the debugger...

Code: Select all

(-1).ToString(PressFormat, InvC)
"-1.0"

PressFormat is just "F1" or "F2" depending on the units

[HansR]

Still the realtime does not contain the minus. Language issue?
EDIT: Nah... InvC.. Forget it.

[moppedhausi]

When I let CumulusMX create a file with the webtags <#presstrendval rc=y>, the result is "xx" without "+" or "-" sign.

Yes, because that is a numeric value not a string. It is up to you to format it as you wish.

Weird isn't it.

Q: The realtime.txt for that site does not contain a "-" so how does CUtilis know to show the down arrow?

It checks for the plus ? up : down

That's why I never noticed there was no minus, you see the red arrow down and it fills in automatically apparently.

[moppedhausi]

Sorry.
Due to my mistake, I created a file under Extra Web Files, which also had the name realtimes.txt.
As a result, the original realtime.txt was repeatedly overwritten.

That is weird as well. Even though it is numeric, I would expect the resulting string to contain ate least the minus sign.
I remember vaguely a similar issue recently was with the json value file where I believe Dador made a sign point.
