Here's a link to a reference for javascript regexp syntax: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp Note the following: ------------- (The decimal point) matches any single character except the newline characters: \n \r \u2028 or \u2029. (The character set [^] can be used to match any character including newlines.) ------------- The problem is that the tiddler text contains newlines, so "foo.*bar" will only find a match if "foo....bar" is *on the same line of text*. Tather than using "foo.*bar"... you should try "foo[^]*bar" which will allow for intervening newlines. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios HELP ME TO HELP YOU - MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO MY "TIP JAR"... http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#Donations Professional TiddlyWiki Consulting Services...
