Hi PMario Thanks for the answer to #2. Works great!
Yes, for #3, maybe the reference to Charlie's snippet was confusing. Basically the question is: If the current text of [[Tiddler A]] is "I am so happy", I want an editortoolbar button that grabs "I am so happy" from the text field of [[Tiddler A]] and pastes it into the text of the tiddler I am editing. But: 1) There will be text before and after "I am so happy" 2) If I change the text of [[Tiddler A]], I don't want "I am so happy" to change wherever I used the editortoolbar button.
