Ciao Mark S. & all ... I have an issue using character sets in square brackets. A case came up on the #buddha stuff, covered earlier in this thread, I overlooked. Occasionally I'd include a web address in a Tweet ... ... https://steamradio.com/buddha.html#BuddhaLink Under the current regex

This version will return sub-groups for non-global searches. So in codacoder's example, this search: <$list filter='[tag[TestGroups]get[text]regexps[(?g)bk-ann ".+"]regexps[bk-ann "(.+)"]]' > will change this: <>X > > and > > < macros">> > > Into Explain the use of

Thomas!!! Awesome (not a word a throw around like confetti). Just AWESOME!!! I recall we talked about textstretch when it was "new", quite some time ago. I ended up going my own route with *bk-ann* (and a couple of others, like *bk-note* and *bk-problem* which use different colors and are

Excellent Thomas - thank you. I'll grab it later (or tomorrow, more likely) and let you know how it goes. Danke! On Thursday, August 24, 2017 at 4:50:23 PM UTC-5, Thomas Elmiger wrote: > > Hi Codacoder > > Something like synopsis extraction exists in an experiment I developed > some time

Hi Codacoder Something like synopsis extraction exists in an experiment I developed some time ago: https://tid.li/tw5/numbers.html#Chapter%201:%5B%5BChapter%201%5D%5D%20Footnotes Here I extract footnotes from a text using my extract macro based on existing TW5 technology.

[tw] Re: Query: Are Regular Expressions Regular in TW?

Another version of regexps to play with. This version will pull out all matches at once when the global flag is used. So the filter could look like: "[get[text]regexps[(?g)#\w+\b]tolower[]]" It might not make a difference in this use-case, but perhaps in some other situation. Notes: The

Ciao Mark S. WHOAH! *Utterly BRILLIANT*. Its absolutely spot-on for what I need. It also seamlessly dealt with the tricky case of double quotes I couldn't figure out. Perfect for this kind of job. Can't thank you enough. For readers who maybe not understand quite what is going on, Mark S.

[tw] Re: Query: Are Regular Expressions Regular in TW?

I'm playing with version that does replacement with regexp. Based on original regexp code with a couple of tweaks. Seems to work. Absolutely make backups, because sometimes one gets blind-sided by subtle discrepancies as I discovered with the seemingly simple tolower filter. After install,
