Sylvester Forecast
« on: January 01, 2016, 02:01:27 PM »
Hi!

Happy New Year!

Please see the image below. My hardware produces conditions and forecast and I am trying to tweet these to coincide with the emails WC sends. But either I can't do what I want to, or I haven't understood the syntax of the commands. Can anyone advise me as to which it is?

Cheers,

Rich

Rich,

What you are trying to do is in the correct syntax. However, the resultant text string would yield quite a bit more text than Twitter's 140 character limit. That's what is causing it to fail. When creating a Twitter string, take into consideration any extreme you might encounter, such as negative numbers, 3-digit temps, etc.

Rich,
Check the manual as to which tags you can use (page 118 in the current manual) - currently it's some date/time tags and STAT$ tags.

Hi!

Thanks - that's why it won't work then - because I can't use those tags.

Cheers,
