Sure, ... _but_ it would be very destructive and error prone. eg: If there is a typo. - Let's imagine a filter like: [prefix[$:/temp]] - it will also delete $:/temptation - which may not be intended. ... Do you see the the missing char in the filter variable? .. and this example contains an obvious problem. Filters can have side-effects, that are much harder to spot. I know, that's a user problem, if s/he creates a filter that dosn't do what is intended, or if a filter has unintended side-effects ... I think the plugin contains enough info, that users can create their own variations of the macro, that work for their specific usecase. I personally don't want to be responsible, if *my plugin* deletes stuff that the user wanted to keep. So everyone, which wants to be responsible can jump in here. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
