Re: [tw] Create tiddlers from an external program?
Thank you so much for the ideas! Much appreciated. Ideally, I was hoping that the stand alone wiki file would have an API to do what Josiah is doing with regex. I love TW's rolling history, search and tags. It would be really great to use in small adhoc programming projects to index things. An example is working with someone else's code base and making edits. You need to index the source and isolate a working set to patch in changes. It's easy to get lost and waste a lot of time trying to remember where you were. Using TW, one could index, search, annotate and even check in their notes into a version control system. Andreas, I will have a look at the code. Josiah, I will see if I can do custom injection as you described.

Re: [tw] Create tiddlers from an external program?
Ciao Andreas & TJ Hoeft About the only area of computing I would say I am any good at is regular expressions. FWIW, I directly create and inject Tiddlers using advanced Grep software that can run regex over a normal text, html, spreadsheet, or most anything you want, re-make the result in Tiddlers and directly automatically insert them into a TW. The actual mechanics are hard to explain as I'm using proprietary software to do it. But its worth bearing in mind---Tiddlers are simply text as far as regex engines are concerned and trivially easy to create that way. This is more an approach suited to bigger TW--for instance for quickly porting over whole novels to TW format.

Re: [tw] Create tiddlers from an external program?
Hi TJ, yes, there is several ways to do this: 1. A few years back I wrote a minimalist example class in python to save/load tiddlers into an *active* nodejs TW instance, I've attached it to this email. 2. If you don't need/want a nodejs instance to run you could always write out '.tid' or '.json' files into the tiddler directory of a nodejs TW directly, those are very simple file formats. You could also interface with tiddlyweb[1] (written in python) directly if you need more advanced features. 3. If you want to write tiddlers into a single-file TW, I don't know of any direct way, so I imagine the easiest thing to do is to choose one of the options above and then let the nodejs instance render the single-file TW.

[tw] Create tiddlers from an external program?
Hello, Has anyone done any work creating tiddlers from external programs such as Python? Would like to experiment with creating searchable log files as well as indexing source code trees.
