The TWCore regexp[...] filter only tests for a match, but doesn't support extracting "grouped" text matches (i.e., embedded patterns surrounded by parentheses). However, there is an add-on filter named regexps[...] (the "s" is for string) that DOES return the matching group(s)... https://github.com/Marxsal/TiddlyWiki5/blob/regular_expression_strings/core/modules/filters/regexps.js If you copy the above code into a tiddler (e.g., $:/filters/regexps.js) and then save-and-reload, you can then use regexps:text<pattern> to get the matched text. enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
