It's a plugin by tobibeer. I have no problems with it - strange On Thu, 21 Apr 2016 at 11:50 Hegart Dmishiv wrote: > 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. > >

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. Hegart. On Thursday, 21 April 2016 19:13:25 UTC+12, Matthew Petty wrote: > > Hi Hegart, > Thank you for your efforts! > I took a look at your demo. I

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

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

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

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

Is this a PERMANENT change you want to make giving an incremented field value, or DYNAMIC? On Monday, 18 April 2016 21:30:49 UTC+2, Matthew Petty wrote: > > I have a set of tiddlers, and I want to set a field for each one, > incrementing the value each time. > > So for example, I have tiddlers

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

Bump? Anyone? I have the feeling that setvars would be useful, or calc, or action-setfield. But how to bring it together? On Tuesday, 19 April 2016 13:57:16 UTC+4, Matthew Petty wrote: > > Ah, no, apologies for the confusion. Here's what I want, in more detailed > pseudocode (I'm probably using

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

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 <>

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

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. On Tuesday, 19 April 2016 21:01:33 UTC+12, Matthew Petty

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

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. On Tue, 19 Apr 2016 at 12:46 Hegart Dmishiv wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > I think TobiBeer's *make[ ]* filter plugin >

Hi Matthew, I think TobiBeer's *make[ ]* filter plugin might be what you're looking for. Hegart. On Tuesday, 19 April 2016 20:09:34 UTC+12, Matthew Petty wrote: > > I've been looking at tobibeer's setvars plugin, to see if that would work, >

I've been looking at tobibeer's setvars plugin, to see if that would work, but I can't figure it out. 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
