First, about the above example: I believe the "{}" needs to be masked for Mango Regex as "{". What about the "[" ?

But somehow I cannot get the ASCII File Reader to work at all:
In the module section, it does not give a module description but only "???file.description(i18n_en)???". I tried removing the module, restarting, re-installing the module - no change.

I prepared a simple test text file po.txt (permissions -rw-rw-rw-):

sdfsfdf
power 1234 W
asdfasdfr 666

And I tried every RegEX and identifier variant I can image, but no data extracted for that point.
Debug-mode log files do not contain any information (except notification email about the new point created).

Is there a bug in the recent Mango/ASCII module, or am I a victim of too-close-to-the-screen blindness? :roll:

I try to use the ASCII File Reader to parse a JSON structure (which is a single line in the file), but somehow I cannot recieve any data from it.
Can you please explain how to use the Point Identifier, Point Identifier Index, Value Index and Value RegEx correctly?

Data Source file:

{"result":{"overview":[{"meta":"GriPwr","name":"Power","unit":"W","value":"2994"},{"meta":"GriEgyTdy","name":"Day yield","unit":"kWh","value":"50.252"},{"meta":"GriEgyTot","name":"Total yield","unit":"kWh","value":"28441.116"},{"meta":"OpStt","name":"Condition","value":"Ok, Ok, Ok"},{"meta":"Msg","name":"Message","value":""}]},"format":"JSON","proc":"GetPlantOverview","version":"1.0","id":"1"}

If I want the Power, I tried the following with no result:
Point Identifier: {"result:"
Point Identifier Index: 1
Value Index: 1
Value RegEx: "meta":"GriPwr","name":"Power","unit":"W","value":"(\d+)"}

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I just found the Wiki http://wiki.infiniteautomation.com by chance. If you want to use it in a serious way for documentation (which I strongly support), please link it from your homepage. Otherwise people cannot find it :wink:

The problem occurs only, and with all "dynamic graphic" objects.
I realized that there is a URL call for some "ajax...google..." site.
Probably there is the problem, as this call does not happen with other graphic objects.

The debug-mode log does not contain any useful information.
Here is the call of a view containing a horizontal level (dyn. graphic), that fails:

And a view call without the level graphic, that works smoothly:

SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
Don't use some funny external ajax calls for such simple things, but include the graphics into the mango module code. As intermediate solution, mapping it as an analog graphic will do.

I have the same issue with Mango 2.1.0
sstGraphics 1.0.2 is installed.

If I remove the horizontal and vertical bars, one of the 6 dials becomes visible, but the rest not, and error is the same.

Mango log file does not contain an entry on that.
Is there a verbose option?
