Hey Mark,
Acrobatics for me and child's play for, but I'm learning. Tried you're code
with a little modification and it outputs exactly what I want. Here's what
I did:
\define date-str(date)
<$list filter="[[$date$]splitbefore[-]]" variable=x >
<$list filter="[[$date$]removeprefix<x>splitbefore[-]removesuffix[-]]"
variable=m>
<$list filter="[[data-months]getindex<m>]" />
<$list filter="[[$date$]splitbefore[-]removesuffix[-]]" variable=y >
<$list filter="[[$date$]removeprefix<x>removeprefix<m>removeprefix[-]]"
variable=d >
<<d>>, <<y>>
</$list>
</$list>
</$list>
</$list>
\end
I did change some of the variable names a bit. The last question I have is
this. The month comes out as a missing tiddler. Is there a way that I can
just have that be text?
Thanks again,
Damon
