Thanks Mark, I tried to do not touch JS in Tiddler Commander and also keep code simple! (Of course I know very little java script) but seems I have to use JS. For example TW has nothing with string search/replace and the JS code you provided do the job very well.
The macro I proposed above works for me but, modifying the *bulk tiddler creator* makes code complex and difficult to understand. --Mohammad On Friday, February 15, 2019 at 9:27:41 PM UTC+3:30, Mark S. wrote: > > Hi Mohammad, > > Your macros show a deep knowledge of the tools in TW. > > I'm a bit concerned that each level of indenture requires another chunk of > code, which may be hard to maintain. > > The thing is, this sort of thing is easy if you have the right text tools. > We need the concat function and a substr function.
