Names of all fields in a tiddler matching a value

[st...@sunypoly.edu]

Hi,

I'm sure I've done this before, but...

I need to get a list of all fields in a given tiddler "My Tiddler" that have a value of "XYZ"

Thanks in advance,

Quick answer

Use [is[current]fields[]] to generate the list of fields in the current tiddler.

Then "get" the value of each fieldname and test it has a prefix and suffix of xyz

There is definitely a much simpler way, but till someone shows us how, here's one way of doing it:

\define find-in-fields(tid value)
<$list filter="[[$tid$]fields[]] -text" variable="thefield">
<<findvalue tid:"$tid$" value:"$value$">>
</$list>
\end

\define findvalue(tid value)
<$list filter="[[$tid$]field:$(thefield)$[$value$]]">

$(thefield)$ : $value$
</$list>
\end

<<find-in-fields tid:"My Tiddler" value:XYZ>>

Cheers
