Hi Jed well, considering my inability as described I think you have at least my answer. But then maybe the answer to my question, i.e how do I import a csv file into separate tiddlers, is really trivial so...

But what wuold be neat is a quicker thing where you, for instance, filter out some tiddlers and this generates a temporary single link that can be immediately pulled into some other TW. ...where I guess it would ideally be interpreted as multiple tiddlers immediately. Again, I don't understand why it should convert formats, unless you want to export it to a non-TW or perhaps from a single file TW into a node.js TW. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
