Here's a lister that will match and extract these dates, assuming there's only one per tiddler and that each date is formatted correctly.
If it works, then the next step would be to make a button that would wikify the resulting date and stick it into the desired field. Maybe someone else would get excited about that next step? This could probably be done in only one or two list filters if PR2963 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/2963> were implemented. <$list filter="[regexp:text[Charter Filed:]]-[<currentTiddler>]" > <$list filter="[all[current]get[text]splitbefore[Charter Filed:]]" variable="prefix"> <$list filter="[all[current]get[text]removeprefix<prefix>]" > <$list filter="[all[current]split[-]nth[1]]" variable=year> <$list filter="[all[current]split[-]nth[2]]" variable=month> <$list filter="[all[current]split[-]nth[3]]" variable=daze> <$list filter="[<daze>split[]nth[1]]" variable=d1> <$list filter="[<daze>split[]nth[2]]" variable=d2> <<year>>-<<month>>-<<d1>><<d2>> </$list> </$list> </$list> </$list> </$list> </$list> </$list> </$list> On Sunday, August 23, 2020 at 9:46:40 AM UTC-7, History Buff wrote: > > All, > > I'm just starting to look at this, but I thought I would ask the great > community if anyone has done this before to prevent me from going down the > wrong path. > > What I would like to do is to search for a key phrase in the text field of > all tiddlers and for those tiddlers where that phrase exists, move the next > x number of characters into a custom field. > > Specifically, I would like to search for the phrase "Charter Filed: " and > then move/copy the date which follows (in the format of yyyy-mm-dd) into a > custom field named charterfiled. > > I think this should be doable and should save me a lot of manual work in > the long run. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
