Folks, Whilst working on a new Import mechanism, it has become obvious the ability to search a JSON file, data tiddler or regular tiddler and alter one or more elements is a possibly common requirement.
- In my current use case I want to add a prefix to all titles in the import tiddler, so that they can be imported in a separate namespace. There are various search and replace tools in the editor(s), lots of search tools and even methods that can be used in the Editor Toolbar. - But as a designer we do not have a mechanism to supply a tiddler filter, a string filter and replacement string (Filter), to a button to make such changes. - An example may be someone provides the search and replace string/filter and clicks a button. - Or given a hardcoded search and replace string/filter an action would trigger it I am stating this feature requirement out to see if someone has done this before, or has a solution that could be adapted to achieve this. *Why?* - To me this is a tiddler manipulation feature gap that many may wish to use - For me it is the last step in improving the versatility of the Import Mechanism - In fact if one packages tiddlers into a JSON, then applies changes to the JSON it will support the export process as well Prior Art? - Tools such as the relink plugin, the Commander of Mohamads etc... already do most of this, just not as an action - Joshuas JSON tools also supports doing things like this but involves a deeper understanding of JSON files. - Any other sources? I expect to build this myself as its needed in my "new Import mechanism", however with the communities contribution I hope we can find a more general solution.
