Saq's second suggestion was:
[tag[DailyNotes]regexp:text[$pattern$\b(?)i]
which *does* apply the regexp to the text field while still yielding the
list of matching tiddler titles.
Thus, the above filter would return a list of titles whose text contains
the desired text pattern.
Although TonyK's goal wasn't explicitly stated, I suspect that the above
result is what he wants (i.e., find all DailyNotes that match the pattern
in their content)
Also, to get the results in a variable, he can use the $set widget, like
this:
<$set name="mylist" filter="[tag[DailyNotes]regexp:text[$pattern$\b(?)i]]">
Note that this is one of the specific cases in which the $set widget does
something that the $vars widget cannot. For example, if he were to use an
"inline filter" like this:
<$vars mylist={{{ [tag[DailyNotes]regexp:text[$pattern$\b(?)i]] }}}>
then the "mylist" variable would only capture the *first* matching item
from the filter.
In contrast, the $set usage captures *all* matching items into the variable.

[tw5] Re: How to build a "dynamic" list ?
Tony, You did Well, Tony. 1. It sounds to me like the pattern will remain the same for all items in your final list but you want to access the tiddler name as well in the result. 2. If you use "get" the value ends up being the title coming out of the list. 3. SAq's suggestion is applying the reqexp to the titles, that is not what you want is it, your pattern is running against the text field. 4. Can you explain why, you are *looking to do is having one list in a variable with all the results of the second filter* the reason I ask is perhaps there is a way to solve the bigger problem. I hope I have not appeared to harsh in the past. It takes time to promote better use of the forums, the clearer a post is the more we can share; without consuming too much of our own time. By the way I appreciate your contributions too.

[tw5] Re: How to build a "dynamic" list ?
Is there a specific reason why you need nested lists? Do you want the tiddler titles or the text that matches the regexp? [tag[DailyNotes]regexp[$pattern$\b(?i)] or [tag[DailyNotes]regexp:text[$pattern$\b(?)i] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
