Hi Eric and Wolfgang I know my problem is somewhat "backwards" - the problem is that I have to create tags on existing tiddlers, which group them in a way that I had no chance to foresee when I made the tiddlers at first.
I get many lists of new groupings of different students, which I have to tag - 165 students and 23 teachers in all sorts of different combinations. If I made the lists myself in the first place - it would be no problem - because I have made all studentcards/tiddlers and grouped them in different ways already. It's much to slow to ctrl-click through nearly 800 tiddlers for each new list of tiddlernames/students which I must tag with the title of a course.... I have around 75 lists/NewTags to add to each individual student.. Therefore I would be very happy if it was possible to automate tagging a list of tiddlers - Another specific use is for a contactsheetgenerator I've made - It's fine to find each student and tag them, if you are only making a few contactsheets - but if you have to deliver all kinds of different contactsheets from lists - then it would make everything happen in seconds - instead of hours....
