Possible little bug with UserParameter?
One of my UserParameter returns a value which is a percentage, calculated by a script.
It's defined like this:
UserParameter=vm.stats[*],cat vm-$1.txt
My percentage is stored in vm-asr.txt
The item using it uses the syntax vm.stats[asr]
Since the item is a percentage it is between 0 and 1, so I use a 100 multiplier.
It won't work... goes to "Unsupported".
I changed the percentage calculation and multiplied by 100 in my script, and I removed the multiplier in the item.
It now works.
So, it looks like UserParameter won't work well if the float starts with a "." (e.g. .952 which means 0.952 which represents 95.2%). It does however work well if the number is stored by script as 95.2
Probably a parsing bug?
