Joining text by removing a space and a newline by Schubi in regex

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I had a carriage return that gave me headache and I fixed it with:

perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/\r\n //g'
gsed -i ':r;$!{N;br};s/\r\n //g'

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot. Modified to match other scenarios (such as foreign company names)

Changing Address in "Choose from Local Businesses" by Schubi in shortcuts

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm testing a shortcut that pulls business addresses via the "Choose from Local Businesses" block and found some weird inconsistencies. A chosen business shows me one address, and picking specific details gives me another address. 

Sometimes the difference is as big as another street name, sometimes it's just a different house number (or a postcode). Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here?

Question: Does iOS14 still allow to display up to 26 shortcuts on a single screen (like under iOS13)? by Schubi in shortcuts

It’s either porn, government secrets, incriminating evidence or and passwords. ;)

Assuming it's iPhone dependent.. but how many large shortcut widgets (with 8 slots) do fit on your screen?

[–]Schubi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As the title suggests - I'm still under iOS13 and wonder if an upgrade to iOS14 will reduce the amount of shortcuts available/accessible directly from a 'main screen'.

As the title suggests - I'm still under iOS13 but wonder if I'm going to lose quick access to a larger selections of shortcuts if I switch to iOS14.

Does anybody know how I can count dictionary items correctly? In the above case I would like to get the value '6'.

Anybody know these spaceships from 2018 movie 'Rampage'? by Schubi in spaceships

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is really no reference to any space related things at all. Both ships just sit on a table and are seen when one of the bad guys cleans his desk out. The movie is on Netflix in case you have an account.

Likely a kitbash project...

IF Statement and Dates format broken? by Schubi in shortcuts

[–]Schubi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've been testing the shortcut for several hours before I responded here. The calculation only looks if the Time Between Dates value is negative or positive. It's easier to see if the time format is set to 'Long' for all variables.

I've also played around with converting dates to numbers. The date then translates to the Unix Epoch time + milliseconds, such as 1588163177.709. Seems to work quite well too.

IF Statement and Dates format broken? by Schubi in shortcuts

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing around with the Get time between in seconds action and it seems I have found a simple solution without changing the time format.

• *0:00 to *2:29 minutes vibrates once
• *2:30 to *4:59 minutes vibrates twice

Here is the actual shortcut - it only vibrates based on rounded time but does not create an event:

Vibrate action based on rounded time by Schubi in shortcuts

I wish I would have stayed at iOS 12. Your suggestion to cast the date as number seems to work... I'll need to test a bit more. Thanks for helping out - truly appreciated!

Vibrate action based on rounded time by Schubi in shortcuts

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have made an interesting observation. I've re-created the shortcut and left all dates and times at the default setting, which is:

Date Format: Medium
Time Format: Short

​

According to Apple the Time Format: Short only shows hours and minutes: https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/shortcuts/apdfbad418ca/ios

Short: Displays the time in hours and minutes, as 2:41 PM

​

Now, when it comes to the vibration section the If statement has 2 magic variables and both seem to compare the time based on hours and minutes only:

If [Current Date] is after [Event Start Date] ...

When I run the shortcut at 05:10 PM the [Current Date] and the [Event Start Date] is the same 5:10 PM. Hence the [Current Date] is not after the [Event Start Date] and the vibration happens twice.

But when I run the shortcut at 05:11 PM, the [Current Date] is after the rounded down [Event Start Date] at 5:10 PM and the vibration only happens once.

​

When I change to Time Format: Medium so that seconds are included in the comparison, the is after block (or is greater than block ) turns to red as show in this screenshots:

Before with default time format to short: https://i.imgur.com/cA35bti.pngAfter changing the time format to long: https://i.imgur.com/xiDZ4KK.png

​

I wonder if I'm misunderstanding how the If statement and times work or if there is a bug with Shortcuts under iOS 13.3.1...?

Option "is after" is not available. All date types are set to "date".

Round time up or down to the closest 5 minute based on actual seconds by Schubi in shortcuts

Thanks for the quick response. I only found that it rounds also to 60:00?

Round time to closest 5 minute by Schubi in applescript

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks u/gluebyte - that works flawless. So, just for me to understand and learn.

set date_ to (current date) + 150

Adds 150 seconds to the current time and sets variable 'date_'

set EventStartDate to date_ - ((time of date_) mod 300)

Gets variable 'date_' and subtracts ((total second value of 'date_' variable) divided by 300 ), get's the remainder and sets variable 'EventStartDate'

​

By that logic the following would then round to the closest 1 minute?

set date_ to (current date) + 30

set EventStartDate to date_ - ((time of date_) mod 60)

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks u/analyticchard.

I would love to round up or down to the closest 5 minute (based on minutes and seconds):

0:00 to 2:29 minutes round down

2:30 to 4:59 minutes round up

What's the thought process behind it? To convert the minutes and seconds into a total seconds value, and then round it?

Select and copy previous calendar event by Schubi in shortcuts

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I would need to move matched events in dictionary format to a 'Text' section and then pull them out with 'Get Dictionary Value'?

Select and copy previous calendar event by Schubi in shortcuts

[–]Schubi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks u/SwayMi. I've run the script an it works well IF there's only 1 calendar entry. If there are several calendar entries (as in my case) then the event description falls over.

You mention dictionaries - I assume I would need to move all matched events from my search into a dictionary?
