blingbling · Post by **blingbling** » January 26th, 2006, 2:08 am

Hi what i am now trying todo is get my lcd to change screen when it detects thats the fps counter has changed form N/A to a number, currently i am using cut.dll to read the fps from a log file
here is what im currently trying to do

IF $dll(cut.dll,1,68#5,$LogFile(c:\Program Files\RivaTuner v2.0 RC 15.8\HardwareMonitoring.hml,1)) ="N/A" THEN goto screen1

Please could someone advise me if this is possable

Thanks

It is possible. Try typing this line into an unused screen and see what the result is:

$dll(cut.dll,1,68#5,$File("c:\Program Files\RivaTuner v2.0 RC 15.8\HardwareMonitoring.hml",1))

-notice that i used $file, instead of $logfile, and i put quotes around the path. Also, when using actions with text results, not numerical results, it is important to use the correct case. For example: N/A is not the same as n/a.

Let me know if this works!

try making cut.dll only output the "n" in n/a, and then use only that parameter for the action. Right now, your cut.dll is outputting 5 charachters, right? (68#5 means start at the 68th character, and return 5 characters?) Try this: ....68#1.... =N then gotoscreen(x)
