using moo.dll $dll(" $+ $scriptdirmoo.dll $+ ",cpuinfo,_)
i need to grab the cpu load % and set it as a variable
it returns somthing like this;
1-AMD , 1095MHz, 64KB (14% Load)

if i read it right you want to extract:
14% from:
1-AMD , 1095MHz, 64KB (14% Load)
?
if so:
tokenize 32 $dll(" $+ $scriptdirmoo.dll $+ ",cpuinfo,_)
set %yourvar $remove($5,$chr(asc value for "("))

i cant find the $asc # for ( because i get $asc invalid format

I am sure it is $chr(40)

To return 1-AMD , 1095MHz, 64KB (14% Load), use your dll call

• $dll($+(",$scriptdirmoo.dll,"), cpuinfo, _)

To return 14% Load), chop off everything before the first ( with

• $gettok($dll($+(",$scriptdirmoo.dll,"),cpuinfo,_), 2, 40)

To return 14% load, use $left( , -1) to chop off the final ).

• $left($gettok($dll($+(",$scriptdirmoo.dll,"),cpuinfo,_),2,40), -1)

To return 14%, use a $gettok( , 1, 32) to grab everything from the result before the first space.

• $gettok($gettok($dll($+(",$scriptdirmoo.dll,"),cpuinfo,_),2,40), 1, 32)

To return 14, use a $getok( , 1, 37) to grab everything from the result before the first %.

• $gettok($gettok($dll($+(",$scriptdirmoo.dll,"),cpuinfo,_),2,40), 1, 37)

thanks but can i add text on top of a progress bar?

If you are creating your progress bar in a custom @picwin, yes. You just update the progress bar and re/drawtext your text over the top.

im doing one using mdx

why not use the rambar function... it gives u percent used (without % sign) out of a whole 100. It the function that moo uses to add the "14%" to the cpuinfo method

i tried it before and cant get it to work, and everything works fine (except for my lag bar) so i would like to not screw with it

It's 35 actually, 40 is '('

One of my favorite aliases

This is my favorite alias too. I use this:

You misread his question, it was "(" he wanted the ASCII code for. He used "#" to represent the word "number".
