[tw5] Re: Basic Problem -- How to get Tiddler text into a variable (NOT a transclusion)
Ciao BTC
Very useful to see. Thanks!
I do see a more complex situation where I could need that and not just
"set".
Best wishes, J

That is good.
I delayed replying till I tested it with the buttons of automate (some
quite complex) properly.
It works well without adding too much code.
Thankyou! J.

If it really needs to be hard-coded text, then I think you would need a
button that would trigger actions that would create the actual text. It
would be something you need to do whenever updating your configuration, I
suppose.

It is in a single tiddler with several other buttons that just vary

You are right. The difficulty *IS* explaining it.
Transclusion is so sophisticated in TW many don't realise that when you
create macro/variables you are transferring the "transclusion code" into
it, not the value, most of the time.
> You could just create a global macro:

Works perfectly in most transclusion contexts. But you can see the
issue with that is if you use the macro in a context like a command
processor that only accepts literal text... the macro/variable isn't
holding the value, but the transclusion code to display it.
path: 'C:\\bag\\PortableApps\\twMU\\pages\\tw\\tw_
{{$:\\HelloThere!!text}}\\index.html'
I will try layout a more detailed example and be as clear as I can. But
I think this starts to illustrates the issue I hope.

something with the text.
Good luck!

[tw5] Re: Basic Problem -- How to get Tiddler text into a variable (NOT a transclusion)
Ciao Diego Looks part the way there. But I need get the (literal text) value "Paul Drake" into a Global Macro <> for use elsewhere. As far as I grasp $set use is limited to its context? Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong. J.

Hello Josiah, On Tiddlywki.com if you type: <$set name="perry" tiddler="HelloThere" field="text"> hello! <> You get the literal text of the tiddler HelloThere. Is this what you mean?
