For instance, a tiddler titled "reports- > march-*" might match all tiddlers with a tag that starts with "reports- > march-", like ""reports-march-03" and ""reports-march-09".
The core's <<list filter [tag[tagvalue]]>> function generates lists of tagged tiddlers but, as you noted, only does exact matches of a single tag value... Fortunately, I've written: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#MatchTagsPlugin to extend the core's store.filterTiddlers() function (and a few other bits and pieces) so that you can use full boolean syntax ("and", "or", "not", with nested parens as needed) to join tag terms together into complex conditionals: <<list filter [tag[foo and bar or (baz and mumble) or not gronk]]>> In addition, the individual tag 'terms' can be regular expresions text patterns (see http://www.TiddlyTools.com/faq.html#FAQ_RegularExpressions for syntax) Thus, it becomes trivial to 'glob' a list of tagged tiddlers, like this: <<list filter [tag[reports-march-.*]]>> or perhaps even something selective like: <<list filter [tag[reports-(march|april|may)-.*]]>> enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
