Here's a version that optimizes Mark's filtering method and provides the next step (a button that sets the "charterfiled" field): <$button> extract charter dates <$list filter="[search:text[Charter Filed:]]-[<currentTiddler>]" variable="tid" > <$list filter="[<tid>get[text]split[Charter Filed:]nth[2]splitregexp[\s]!match[]nth[1]]" variable="date"> <$action-setfield $tiddler=<<tid>> charterfiled=<<date>> /> </$list></$list></$button> The first $list finds all tiddlers that contain "Charter Filed:". Then, for each tiddler found, the second $list gets all text following "Charter Filed:", splits on whitespace, ignores any leading whitespace, and gets the first text, which should be the date text, regardless of format. This text is then written to the "charterfiled" field of the current tiddler. enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
