CurrencyConverterMini (plugin) [renamed thread]
« on: March 07, 2008, 02:29 AM »
edit 080813: thread renamed to "CurrencyConverterMini (plugin)" from "google dollar exchange rate plugin -- sketch" /nod5

While the donationcoder server was down I tried to put together a plugin based on the javascript SDK that takes a number as an input and queries google what that amount of dollars exchanges to in swedish kronor. In the finished plugin that swedish kronor part should of course be customizable to whatever currency the user prefers. Below is the fscript.js I've put together so far. It works, but is a bit messy and lacks some things. To try it, make a copy of the Ninjawords plugin folder (for example) and replace the fscript.js script code with the one below. type "ex ___ " to run it, where ___ is some amount . Example: "ex 50 " . The plugin currently treats "ex 50.10 " and "ex 50,10 " as identical (50 dollars and 10 cents).

This is only a sketch version of the script. I'd love some assistance on a few things:

help1: How do I most easily let the user choose the output currency and make the plugin remember that?

help2: I want the plugin to go through these three steps: First, if there is a cached daily exchange rate, use that to calculate and display output. Second, if not, query google, parse, display output and cache exchange rate. Third, if the google query failed (i.e. offline), see if there's a cached older exchange rate, use that to calculate and display output plus a note that N days old rate was used. Now, how do I best do I best cache the exchange rate through javascript in the plugin? I basically need to read and write to a text file I guess but I don't even know how to do that I'm afraid :o

help3: I used "ex" as alias only because I couldn't get "$" to work (I wanted "$50 " to run the script for example). Is there some way to use "$" as an alias?

this is a nice idea.  i hope our resident farr javascript sdk experts (chezchboy and ecaradec) can help.  actually the answers to your question might make for some functions that could be useful for future plugins (caching support for example).

$ has a special meaning in regular expressions.  try \$ to match the $ character.

Hi,
just shortly because I am in Netherlands for one week, so I dont have much time:

As to 1: You can put it in advanced setting, or you can try it similar way how I do it in google dictionary etc.
As to 2: I would recommend you to use JSON since it is very simple. You can read more about it here: http://www.json.org/js.html or you may also use XML. Take a look at delicious plugin how advanced setting is saved into a xml file.

Now, how do I best do I best cache the exchange rate through javascript in the plugin?
In the delicious plugin I stored the bookmarks in an xml files.
If you need to read and write text files : search for Scripting.FileSystemObject. It is an activex you can use to read and write files.
If you need to read and write xml files, you can use MSXML.DOMDocument.

help3: I used "ex" as alias only because I couldn't get "$" to work (I wanted "$50 " to run the script for example). Is there some way to use "$" as an alias?
You can try \$ as mouser tell you.
You can also set regexstr and scriptregex to empty,  set aliasstr to $, delete the onRegexSearchMatch function and only use the explicit match. You can then use javascript regexes only to match params. Regexes are useful when you need FARR to filter results based on a pattern when you use FARR.emitResult() to report results.

I'm very pleased to see all your work around javascript plugins.

Thanks for the feedback mouser & czechboy & ecaradec!  :Thmbsup:
Here is a new version with these improvements:
- the user chooses the input and output currency (stored in options.xml ). If the input/output phrase works in google, it should work in this plugin.
- the plugin uses google only once after each FARR restart, thereafter it uses the cached exchange rate which means lightning fast results. (I'll look into writing the exchange rate to a file later, but I suspect the current in memory cache is enough for most usage)

code for fscript.js :

}

edit:
- Can I add a title or description to the settings popup? (the one that stores the input/output in options.xml)
- I tried using escaping $ to \$ but still couldn't get it to work as an alias. Are you sure that it is possible in FARR?

Great idea for a plugin, but it doesn't work for me... The screenshot explains a bit more:
Clip.png

both USD and NOK are valid values, but 'NaN NOK' isn't too helpful ;)

Also there is a crash whenever I open the plugin configuration dialog in FARR. I've saved the script as fscript.js in plugins/FARRCurrency along with a copy of the latest fscript.dll I could find.

any help appreciated :)

Yes, this doesn't work at the moment. It did work previously so something must have changed (at google or in the FARR update).

Here is the problem:

The plugin uses javascript to extract a part of the google search results page. Here is an example snippet from google:
<tr><td><img src=/images/calc_img.gif width=40 height=30 alt=""></td><td>&nbsp;</td><td nowrap><h2 class=r><font size=+1><b>1 US$ = 0.506303478 British pounds</b></h2></td></tr><tr><td>
The plugin tries to extract "<b>1 US$ = 0.506303478 " from the snippet through this code:
string = string.match(/<b>1 .* = (?:\d|\.|\,)*? /g);
But somehow that does not stop at "0.506303478 " anymore but grabs a longer string. I can't see the error here. The last ? is supposed to make the search ungreedy (and I think it ought to work even without it). I just now also tried to use /gU but that doesn't work either. I'm sure there is some other way to do it but I'm bad at regexp in javascript and will have to look it up some more. If anyone spots a solution right away, please post it here.

That indeed solves it. Thank you czechboy! :) I was focusing so intensively on finding the problem with the second * that I didn't notice that it was the first * was the real culprit. Doh!    :huh: ;D :-[

TucknDar, I can't reproduce that plugin configuration dialog crash. What currencies have you entered (if any)? What version of fscript.dll ? My config works fine with fscript.dll v1.0.0.7 (MD5 86b830da7611128f97b6b4b63b18f53e )

}

I will put this in a proper plugin package later.

thanks, works now! very useful, but a request would be to be able to write 'ex 10 gbp usd' to change which currencies to use.

about the crash, I'll look into it a little more. It's been a while since I actually opened the plugins dialog, so maybe there's another culprit. I'll reply about it later

I'm glad it works!

On custom currencies, see this and the post after.

I earlier considered adding modifiers for other currencies. But in the end I just aimed for the slimmest and quickest possible conversion from one specific currency to another. Adding modifiers could conflict with that somewhat. I could parse the string after "ex" for space separated substrings ("111 aaa bbb ") an if so treat the latter as modifiers. But then a users that wants "111 aaa bbb " would see results for "ex 111 " and "ex 111 aaa " on the way, which is ugly. (Using format "111aaa bbb" might work though). I'll think about it but at the moment I think complex conversions is well handled by the igo method ("igo 200 $ in €") or czechboys Google Calculator plugin (see link above).

thanks again Nod5 & czechboy but it is possible to use another source such as RatesFx? i have an off-site page of the website's currency calculator and currently view it through 'igo'. if this can be somewhat piped through Farr like the 'gcal', then it would be a great time-saver.

P.S. remove the 'txt' extension before viewing it. i put it there since the forum wouldn't allow me to attach 'html' files.

I added the more complex google syntax after all. Please testdrive it for bugs TucknDar and others  :)

Currency Converter Mini now has two modes: default and advanced.
To use default, enter your default input/output currency to options once and after that just type "ex 100 "
To use advanced, type in a way that google currency converter understands: "ex 100$ in € " ("ex 100 $ in €" also works but does an extra search at "ex 100 ")

I also noticed that the plugin uses google for every default search now so the cache is not working. I'll try to fix that too.

lanux128, I don't really have time to add the RatesFx at the moment. Hopefully someone else does.

Did this ever get put into a proper plugin package? Or am I just to dumb to find it?

You're right, Enzomaticus, it didn't.
But you can use Google Calculator to do exactly the same.
For example, to get dollar to euro, just type the following in farr:
gcal 1euro in usd

CurrencyConverterMini v1.03.01
http://nod5.dcmember...cyconvertermini.html
Changelog:
fixed error with , or . in search.
removed conversion rate cache.

I hope I did a correct plugin pack. If not, let me know.
Also, is it ok if I rename this thread to "CurrencyConverterMini (plugin)"?
