[tw5] Re: GetFirstLine behavior in TW5?

Hi Tony, Thanks for the reply. I admit that I'm cheating a bit with leaning on the group during the transition time because I need to get the website reliably functional asap (for teaching starting in January), and can come back to appreciating more of what's under the hood in the summer. I

Tony, this is promising, thanks! In fact, I had started many definition tiddlers with ":" (because of the old ";" and ":" pattern for signaling term-definition pairs). But your model works to search within a single specified tiddler, and replacing the outer filter to specify a tag as in <$list

Eric, I'm able to get *almost* the right result with a variant on your suggestion , namely: <$list filter="[tag[definition]sort[title]]"> ''{{!!title}}'' {{{[get[text]splitregexp[\n]first[]]}}} Result here

All, some experiments inspired by this; Extending this for fun I can extract a line/paragraph labeled "Abstract:" <$list filter="HelloThere"> <$list filter="[all[current]get[text]splitregexp[\n]prefix[Abstract:]]" variable=abstract> <$link to=<> ><$text text=<>/> The above works

Mark, Thanks for your reply... Of course, fields are a great way to structure data (I'm a database-nerd by mindset). At the moment, I'm trying to quickly whip a usable update into shape where there are over a hundred existing "flat" tiddlers where the first paragraph ("line") serves as a

Here's an example that will get the first line of HelloThere at tiddlywiki.com <$list filter="HelloThere +[get[text]splitregexp[\n]first[]]"/> I'm not sure that parsing lines out of text is the best way to proceed. TW5 makes it easy to access tiddler fields. It might be better to put the line
