Weather for dwm

[cphasap]

Ok, I simply must know, what are you drawing on for displaying weather in the toolbar in your DWM videos? I have a big ole space between the icon and the text with the temperature, I simply must know what you use to get such a nice, neat display!
Thanks if you are willing to share!

curl -sf "wttr.in/$LOCATION?format="%c%t"" | sed -e 's/+//' -e 's/\ //'

is what I use! :)

Of course, using sed makes perfect sense to strip out spaces... thank you for the reminder. That's pretty much my method, but I gots to add the use of sed. Thanks for the reply!

Uhm, I don't mean to presume to ask, and perhaps my issue is with knowing enough C to be able to do this correctly, but I cannot get the whole command to work as it's printed here. It appears that everything at the end of the sed command is disregarded when I am trying to add it to dwmblocks.... any thoughts as to why it doesn't work like this? I know the location needs to be changed.

It seems like you might be missing quotes around the entire command; if needed, you can swap the quotes in the command for single quotes.

"curl -sf wttr.in/$LOCATION?format='%c%t' | sed -e 's/+//' -e 's/\ //' "

I have that command running in a separate script, so you could opt for that instead, and then call the script (still in quotes).
