Folks, The following objective I believe exposes a limitation in tiddlywiki I would like to resolve; however I wish to find at least a work around for now.
I am just writing a macro to process lines in a tiddler <$tiddler tiddler=<<tiddlername>> > <$list filter="[all[current]get[text]splitregexp[\n]]" variable=line> </$list> </$tiddler> However inside the list, I want to process each line, - However I wish to detect a start and end condition and display only the lines including and between the start and end condition. - This start and end condition may occur more than once in the same tiddler. - A real world example may be extracting the content between an open and close html div or section tag. To do this my first idea so far is - setting a flag at the start of when the condition is met, - displaying each line when this flag is on - and turning the flag off when the end condition is met. However this flag would be a variable in the traditional (non tiddlywiki sense) and I do not believe we have one in, tiddlywiki that does not require a trigger to set a text reference to that value. This is a gap I have recognised for some time but had trouble communicating. A second idea is to "call a sub-routine", while the condition is met, - but to do this we need to have the ability to request the next line from the source tiddler - We can not do this to my knowledge because the flow must return to the next item in the list that calls the subroutine. Can anyone share a solution to this issues please? thanks in advance for considering this TW Tones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
