I'm trying to write a boolean but I can't figure out how to get Kodi to read a "!" char. eg:

Code:

StringCompare(Window(Weather).Property(WeatherProvider),Yahoo! Weather)

In looking at the wiki on boolean functions, I can't find anything about what a legal "string" is when used as an argument. Help!

Try this instead -

PHP Code:

SubString(Window(Weather).Property(WeatherProvider),Yahoo) + SubString(Window(Weather).Property(WeatherProvider),Weather) 


You can probably drop the second SubString altogether.

afaik, the only characters you cant use are ! $ & as they are reserved for special functions.

Thanks to you both. I did go to SubString and it works, but seems like a bandaid. I'm surprised you can't escape those characters somehow.

I think escaping (like in other programming languages) is a must have.

We don't have basic algebraic operations or string manipulations in the skinning engine either...
