Hi, So here is my need I have a date field (lets call it: "myDate") that is not formated: values can be "12-02-2015" , "Dec 2016", "Q3 2017" or "2018" I want to extract the year for display and sorting purposes.
so I usually write right(myDate,4) now this does not seem to be core. So look on this group i found this post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/TiddlyWiki/string$20function|sort:date/tiddlywiki/55LEk-oaMj4/E2zAZN_BBwAJ> about substring using a javascript macro This is close enough , for the substring part. If I want to operate on the title of the tiddler , I can modify the code as per below (tested it works well [...] exports.name = "substr"; exports.params = [ {name: "size",default:"0"}, ]; /* Run the macro */ exports.run = function(size) { var tiddlertitle= this.getVariable("currentTiddler"); return tiddlertitle.substring(tiddlertitle.length-size); [...] And this works well on the title , but I would like to reach the myDate field Am I going in the right direction ? What would be the syntax ? I could not find tips on this Thanks for your kind help here Francois -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
