You are right - I stand corrected. I read somewhere on the net that only 1 group could be displayed at a tim, but I never checked it myself. Now that I created a few groups I see that with ver. 3 that more than 1 group can be active. Sorry for the misinformation.
No problem at all - glad to have helped.Thanks for that RogersDA, that finally worked for me:
localize weather
Is there a way to localize the language the weather information are displayed?
I want them in italian, and if i go either on yahoo or http://m.wund.com/global/stations/10866.html with safari, the informations appear in italian, when i use the curl command tho, i receive the site in english.
is there a way to set the language curl "requests"?
Thanks

Could you be so kind, and explain how?
I used this for current condition:
Code:
curl "http://de.weather.yahoo.com/deutschland/niedersachsen/hannover-657169/" |
grep -E '(yw-cond)' |
sed -e 's/ <div id="yw-cond">//' |
sed -e 's/<\/div>//'And this for forcast:
Code:
curl "http://de.weather.yahoo.com/deutschland/niedersachsen/hannover-657169/" |
grep -E '(yw-fcc)' |
sed -e 's/v><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class="yui-gb"><div class="yui-u first">//' |
sed -e 's/<\/div><div class=.*fcc.>//' |
sed -e 's/<\/div><div class=.yw-fct.>//' |
sed -e 's/Max:/ /' |
sed -e 's/°/°C/' |
sed -e 's/; \ \ Min:/ \//' |
sed -e 's/\°<\/di/°C/' |
sed -e 's/<div class="yui-gb"><div class="yui-u first">//' |
sed -e 's/Morgen/Morgen: /' |
sed -e 's/Heute/Heute: /' |
sed -e 's/Montag/Montag: /' |
sed -e 's/Dienstag/Dienstag: /' |
sed -e 's/Mittwoch/Mittwoch: /' |
sed -e 's/Donnerstag/Donnerstag: /' |
sed -e 's/Freitag/Freitag: /' |
sed -e 's/Samstag/Samstag: /' |
sed -e 's/Sonntag/Sonntag: /'If anyone knows how to reduce lines here....feel free to comment =)
This is the result:
Thank you so much tzippy, yo are a real lifesafer
I have one problem with the forecast tho.
Inserting the code you provide, even without changing anything gives me a strange output.
And with the strings translated to italian
I think that the problem resides within the interpretation of the ° symbol, cause you can see the ° after each temperature, and there is a problem with the </di at the end, but i strongly believe that it as the same origin.
I tried to set the enconding to different values in geektool, but the problems still persists...
Some help?
Here is the changed code, the original is from tzippy, one post above:

The Code in my post, isn't actually the Code I posted (sounds strange, though right =)!
It's been formatted by the forum software somehow....
This:
is wrong. You have to replace & # 1 7 6 ; (remove spaces)
This will work for you:

Oh, you are trying them both?
Any differences? What does NerdTool offer more than Geektool?
Very interested

Finally it is done!
I am satisfied, it is not perfect, but it will have to do for the next few days
I wanted to let you all in one this. I'm making a guide of all the codes in this thread and it's pretty long so I figure i would ask for/get some help so we could make sure everyone is able to understand geektool.
Also you can't upload a pages file so you don't get to see the pictures.

angle or kern shell text from geektool?
if i have a desktop background photo that is a perspective, and i'd like my geektool shell script to display angled text to follow the line of the perspective, how can i most easily achieve this?
i don't see a built-in way and wonder what options i might have.
i'm guessing possibly have the script write out an image but i don't have a clue how to do that.
many thanks!
