To test a text string against a regular expression, you can use
the .match() method of the string, passing the regexp as an argument:
var foo="some text";
if (foo.match(/some regexp/)) { ... }
If the pattern is found within the string, match() returns an *array*,
where match[0] is the complete matched text, and match[1..n] contain
matches for parenthesized sub-expressions (if any were used in the
regexp). If no match is found, then match() returns a NULL (==false)
value.
Try this:
<<forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.tags.join(" ").match(/[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}/)'
* I used a literal regexp (/.../) instead of creating a new RegExp
object within the forEachTiddler loop (more efficient).
* The regexp uses more specific matching (looks for numerics only)
* Except within the "[0-9]" regexp syntax, "-" is treated literally
and is not a special symbol. It doesn't need backslash-quoting to be
matched.
* The tags don't need to be sorted, since you are matching across the
whole set of tags at once
* The tags are joined with " " rather than "]]".
