It's a plugin by tobibeer. I have no problems with it - strange

Hi Matthew,

I can't seem to get the *<>* macro to work at all. The only thing it 
seems to do for me is to delete whatever field I point it at.

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] Setting a field for a list of tiddlers, incrementing for each one?

[Matthew Petty]

Hi Hegart,
Thank you for your efforts!
I took a look at your demo. I like the trick of using one tiddler with
multiple fields for variables. Simple and elegant.

The calc plugin can be used to increment a value in a button (
http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#calc). This increments by the incrementer
value:

<$button set="$:/_Data/variables!!current-count" setTo=<>>+

So that is now a part of the pseudocode:

<$edit-text tiddler="$:/_Data/variables" field="current-count" size="5" />
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/_Data/variables" field="incrementer" size="5" />
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/_Data/variables" field="filter" size=50 />

<$list filter={{$:/_Data/variables!!filter}}>

for each tiddler in list
set field 'sort_order' to <>
increment <> by <>
next tiddler

It's a question of triggering an action inside a list, in such a way as to
make it act like a "for" loop.

-Matthew

 From your examples above, it looks like you want the former, is that

 So for example, I have tiddlers A B C D, and after running this

 A would have 1
 B would have 2
 C would have 3
 D would have 4

 What would be the easiest way to do that?

Hi Matthew,

Sorry, I was working on a solution to this yesterday, but I got 
sidetracked. Here's a demo 

 
I've been building. It's not complete yet, and the essential ingredient is 
still missing, so you might not even want to waste your time with it yet. 
I'll let you know if/when I solve it. In the meantime, if anyone else can 
come up with a solution, that'd be great.

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] Setting a field for a list of tiddlers, incrementing for each one?

[Matthew Petty]

Ah, no, apologies for the confusion. Here's what I want, in more detailed 
pseudocode (I'm probably using the wrong symbols):

set index=1
set increment_amount=1
set filter="[tag[this_tag]nsort[sort_order]]"

select list of tiddlers by <>
for each tiddler in list
set field 'sort_order' to <>
increment <> by <>
next tiddler


One issue that I can think of is that because the filter is using the field 
being changed, it may affect the list when it is changed.

 Here's some pseudocode for what I want to do.

 set index to initial value
 set increment amount
 set required filter and sort

 select list of tiddlers by the filter
 for each tiddler
 set field to index value
 increment index by increment amount
 next tiddler

 Any help gratefully received

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] Setting a field for a list of tiddlers, incrementing for each one?

[Hegart Dmishiv]

Hi Matthew,

Can I confirm, do you want the *name* of the field itself to be 
incremented, or the *value* within a given field to be incremented? From 
your examples above, it looks like you want the former, is that correct?

Hegart.

 So for example, I have tiddlers A B C D, and after running this macro 
 or whatever, they would have the following fields:
 A would have 1
 B would have 2
 C would have 3
 D would have 4

 What would be the easiest way to do that?

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] Setting a field for a list of tiddlers, incrementing for each one?

[Matthew Petty]

I've looked at that, but it seems to be creating new tiddlers, and setting
the titles. What I need is to take existing tiddlers and set a field.
