Lua Scripting • Re: Lua for conditional operators with strings as result. [Help]

There are multiple problems here, so welcome to the Rainmeter/Lua mashup world.

First, from the Rainmeter side, the Rainmeter parser doesn't always know when to parse a string and when not to. In this case, you will find that if you remove the spaces from the conditional expression, it will work. So this......will work.

BUT WAIT! Before you try it, you need to fix your Lua code. The problem is you've missed this tidbit from the Lua manual (section 2.2, Booleans)

Beware that, unlike some other scripting languages, Lua considers both zero and the empty string as true in conditional tests.

So change your code to:(Note that I've flipped your expression around to my preferred style.) If you add the following debug code to your function...... you'll see that your original code was passing 10. ( )
