Ciao BTC Very useful to see. Thanks! I do see a more complex situation where I could need that and not just "set". Best wishes, J BurningTreeC wrote: > > \define get-wiki-path() > C:\\bag\\PortableApps\\twMU\\pages\\tw\\tw_$(wikiName)$\\index.html > \end > \define actions() >

Mark S. That is good. I delayed replying till I tested it with the buttons of automate (some quite complex) properly. It works well without adding too much code. Thankyou! J. Mark S. wrote: > > So does > > > Not work? > \define sfTo() ..\..\pages\tw\tw_$(twName)$\ > > > <$set name=twName

Josiah, I see no reference in this discussion to using the wikify widget rather than set to lock the text value into the wikify defined variable. Perhaps that would help Regards Tony On Monday, June 4, 2018 at 12:28:28 AM UTC+10, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > I need to get the literal text of a

It is in a single tiddler with several other buttons that just vary slightly. Its a Tiddler from which I "Automate" the wiki using Bob commands. On Sunday, 3 June 2018 20:35:05 UTC+2, Mark S. wrote: > > Where does this button appear? In a template, or a single launch tiddler? > > More

Where does this button appear? In a template, or a single launch tiddler? More importantly, why not wrap a <$set name=twName value={{$:/PerryMason}}> around the button (deleting macro twName of course) ? Good luck! -- Mark On Sunday, June 3, 2018 at 11:01:47 AM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: >

Mark Footnote ... the "c:\\ is" an apport of error checking in node/Bob. Its not actually the console achieving anything. Internally I think node based systems use "\\" to "escape" in paths. When things run well you never see it. J. Mark S. wrote: > > Where is this "path: 'c:\\'"

I imagine this relates to invoking commands from Bob, which I haven't studied. Where is this "path: 'c:\\'" structure located? Is it in a regular tiddler? If it really needs to be hard-coded text, then I think you would need a button that would trigger actions that would create the actual

I think you need to explain more about your use case. You could just create a global macro: \define perry() {{HelloThere!!text}} and then use <> anywhere. But I suspect you're trying to do something with the text. Good luck! -- Mark On Sunday, June 3, 2018 at 7:28:28 AM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter
