While my use of forms & form templates has worked out well, I'm not faced with using the data in the tiddlers that make use of the forms.

I'm gaining experience with using the forEach macro with fields and trying my hand with slices, but the <data/> has me beat.

To give an example, I have tiddlers that contain things like this:

<<formTiddler [[CharacterTemplate]]>><data>{"firstname":"John","lastname":"Smith",,"description":"Miner","appearance":"Blue eyes\nBlack hair\n","nationality":"Irish"}</data>

I was hoping that I could use slices to deal with the parts like
        "firstname":"John"
but it doesn't seem to work out.

I spent much of last night going back tough the list archives and googling and looking though other sites, but either my google-fu is failing, this isn't something one should do when tired, or its not there.

Surely, since form templates have been used to enter data, there is a way to extract and collate that data?

Can anyone help or give me pointers?

Thanks
