Dear Team, in this project I still have sometimes a small glitch - I was hoping that you "know the answer"? I know that there's a solution but after a few days of try+error I'm lost. It's not a show-stopper, but I know it's possible to fix this.
Error: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Suspicion is, that it's the Rainmeter WebParser URL=file accessing the file every second (Update=1000) despite the 1 hour UpdateRate??! Is it true, that the WebParser measure is locking the file every time it's looking into it?
Now the million-dollar-question: How can I reliably overwrite the WebParser local file in the background with the running Rainmeter WebParser measure/skin? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure that Rainmeter is the problem, but as of now this is my best lead... Any ideas, hints, much appreciated.
- I'm using a WebParser measure to regex out a few strings from a local file "PVMetrics-Webparser.txt", see code below
- Note hat the UpdateRate is 1 hour
- Every 15 minutes I run an AHK script triggered by a Plugin=RunCommand measure in the skin, which updates the "PVMetrics-Webparser.txt" file in the background
- In detail, as final step in the AHK script, I'm copying an updated temp.txt file over the existing "PVMetrics-Webparser.txt" via FileCopy("temp.txt", "PVMetrics-Webparser.txt", 1) - Note: "1" option means overwrite-mode Here's the docs for AHK's FileCopy in case I overlooked something...
