Problem illustrated as minimal test case:
Put this in first tiddler:
title: tid
text: aaa bbb ccc
and then this in *another *tiddler;
Original string (i.e the text in tid): {{tid}}<br>
<$set name="prefix_aaa" filter="[[tid]get[text]splitbefore[aaa]]">
<$set name="prefix_bbb" filter="[[tid]get[text]splitbefore[bbb]]">
prefix_aaa: <<prefix_aaa>> (string!) <br>
prefix_bbb: <<prefix_bbb>> ("title"!)<br>
<$set name="mystring_aaa" filter="[[tid]get[text]splitbefore<prefix_aaa>]">
<$set name="mystring_bbb" filter="[[tid]get[text]splitbefore<prefix_bbb>]">
mystring_aaa: <<mystring_aaa>> - the original string is splitbefore the
prefix<br>
mystring_bbb: <<mystring_bbb>> - the original string is NOT splitbefore the
prefix`
</$set>
</$set>
</$set>
</$set>
As seen in the prefixes, the filter output "format" differs depending on if
the string contains spaces or not. AFAICT the behaviour is inconsistent or
at least not sensible and has caused problems for me many times in trying
to work with strings.
My first question if I'm simply approaching it the wrong way and if soeone
has a working (general) solution?
If not, then I hope to post a git issue about this but I wonder what the
best solution proposal would be;
I see a need for both title links as output and plain strings as output, so
I'm thinking the best proposal would be for a filter operator ( string[] )
or perhaps a listwidget parameter that specifies output format (
format="string" ). Which would be better? Other ideas?
Thanks!
