Thanks for sharing back. I expect the scheduled solution is the best
however;
On returning I had a thought. Place this in a tiddler on tiddlywiki.com
Filter-Var: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/filtervar" tag=input/><br>
Filter: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/filter" tag=input/> can also use
`<filter-var>`<br>
<$set name=filter-var value={{$:/temp/filtervar}}>
<$set name=filter value={{$:/temp/filter}}>
<$list filter={{$:/temp/filter}}>
</$list>
</$set>
</$set>
Then enter in filter-var
201909(0[1-9|1[0-5])
And in filter reference filter-var
[regexp:created<filter-var>]
Basically this make possible the introduction of a variable to the filter
used in the search, as one has to do when using regex with square brackets
in wikt text.
This could also be used to test the use of subfilters
Filter-var
title text modified modifier created creator tags type list caption
Filter
[fields[]!subfilter<filter-var>]
So I wonder if there was a way to allow the setting of a variable in the
advanced search filter tab would be useful. It would only work if included
in the filter.
Or alternatively use {$:/temp/filtervar} in the advanced search filter
[fields[]!subfilter{$:/temp/filtervar}]
Or in the original example
Enter in filter-var
201909(0[1-9|1[0-5])
And in advanced search filter reference filter-var tiddler
[regexp:created{$:/temp/filtervar}]
And there is yet another option:
in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/Macro
Place
\define varname() 201909(0[1-9|1[0-5])
and use <varname> in your advanced filter
[regexp:created<varname>]
I have tested all of the above and they work
Regards
Tony
