Filter for child tiddler of tiddlers by prefix??

[HC Haase]

It could be that I am organizing in the worst possible way, but is there a way to filter all tiddlers that has a tag starting with a prefix XX?

My situation is:
I have a structure (with tags) like:

Journal tiddlers
  worklog 2006/08/08
     task a
  worklog 2006/08/09
     task b
     task c
 I want to filter for all tasks regardless of date. I tried to use [tag[prefix[worklog]]] but that don't work.

The problem is that the task have a random case number as title, so I cant sort for "task".

I started this structure because it is so fast and nice to split a tiddler with the new edit toolbar. It gives me a nice structure fast.

thanks

Hi HC,

To create lists, we need some parameters to create filters. .. The most common one is "tags". So how are your journal tiddlers tagged? (TW default is: Journal) ... In your case I could imagine "worklog" for your "worklog YYYY/0MM/0DD"

And the tasks could be tagged with the "worklog YYYY/0MM/0DD" name. ..

In this case it would be easy to create a list, that you want to have. .... If you just want to use the names and prefix / suffix and regexp filters, it will be much more complicated and fragile, as it could be.

have fun!

Hi Mario
Thanks for the advice.

Yes.
tiddler task a
   is tagged "worklog YYYY/0MM/0DD"
       is tagged "worklog"

(see screenshot)

but I don't really understand how I can filter the tasks, as task a and task n don't have any tags in common. Thy do however have tags with the same prefix in common ("worklog" ). can you filter for tags with a prefix or is there an other way?

(in the screenshot below worklog=arblog and task a = 25569 and task b =25550)

Since each of your "Worklog yyyy/mm/dd" entries are also tagged, try:

<$list filter="[tag[worklog]] +[tagging[]]" />

The question is, are tasks the only things that are tagged with work logs?

I feel there must be a way to go about this that uses fields instead of tags, so that your tag-space doesn't become so cluttered.

Good luck!

Hi,

I see. So I guess you want shorter lists. .. Some example follow

<<list-links filter:"[tag[worklog]prefix[arblog 2016/02/]]">> ... uses the prefix operator: see: http://tiddlywiki.com/#prefix%20Operator:%5B%5Bprefix%20Operator%5D%5D%20%5B%5Bprefix%20Operator%20(Examples)%5D%5D

more to come.

Using an input field and a regexp.

Create a tiddler eg: myAdvancedSearch  with this content

term: <$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/input/reg" tag=input size=80 placeholder="enter the search term" />

<<list-links filter:"[tag[worklog]regexp{$:/temp/input/reg}]">>


----
In the input field type eg: /02/   or    log   or  16/02   or ...

see: http://tiddlywiki.com/#EditTextWidget:%5B%5Bregexp%20Operator%20(Examples)%5D%5D%20%5B%5Bregexp%20Operator%5D%5D%20EditTextWidget

-m

let us know, if you need more :) ... Just ask!

You may also try to search this group again. You may get some hints. 

have fun!

SUCESS! thank you

 
Since each of your "Worklog yyyy/mm/dd" entries are also tagged, try:

<$list filter="[tag[worklog]] +[tagging[]]" />

@Mark S. The tagging[] macro was all that was needed. I had forgotten its existence.

I usually just need to make an advanced search so i will be using the filter

[tag[worklog]tagging[]]

@PMario
thanks for all the input. I think I will have to play with the list-links more.

For now I made a tiddler with

<<list-links filter:"[tag[worklog]tagging[]]">>

This gives me the list I need.
