To all, I have a tiddlywiki database that I have built up for more than two years. It is fab. Unfortunately in the early days I used punctuation characters in my tags to organise them. All my status tags begin with "=" eg =closed =inactive etc.. and other tags with other values such as .task
Despite a number of pleas for macros to account for this possibility - which is after all valid for tag and tiddler names, I have come to the point where I want to rename them. Below is the method I will use - can anyone tell me if this is asking for trouble ? take a copy of my TiddlyWiki Use http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#RenameTagsPlugin to rename the required tags Use http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ExportTiddlersPlugin to Export the core + all tiddlers tagged systemConfig Using a text editor search for all occurrences of the old tag names in the above file and copy and paste its occurrence and a number of characters around it into another file "=closed" occurs as follows in the core and plugins - example snip-its here openedtext=closedtext; closedtext=closedtext.slice(0,-2) key=closedtext.substr(closedtext.length-1,1) Now open the copy of the original tiddlywiki in an editor Replace all occurrences of the tag name "=closed" with "closed" Search for the above snip-its (less the =) and re-insert the = in the correct location Save and close the file and reopen it in the browser Presto - it should now work as if the closed tag was always used. A few script files, not tagged systemConfig may need to be corrected but all should work. I do need to do this for 20 or more tags so it may be quite time consuming but quicker than rebuilding the whole tiddlywiki.
