$list with filter stored in a variable with <another-variable-parameter> inside

[Shareda]

Hello! 

I have  full.filter  variable  containing one or more +runs evaluated dynamically. The simplest value is like this:

[all[tiddlers]!is[system]has[cite_no]] +[search:text:regexp<validate.search.regexp>]

<<validate.search.regexp>> gives a valid regexp that can contain sqare brackets, etc.

I am trying to run 

<$list filter=<<full.filter>>>

search results representation

</$list>

Also I tried to add 

<$wikify name="full.filter" text=<<full.filter>>>

before the list widget. But still no correct results.

What syntax should I use?

You're showing us bits and pieces. In particular, you're not showing us your regular expression.

When I try this on TiddlyWiki.com :

<$set name=validate.search.regexp value="\bmes.*\b">

<$set name=full.filter value="[all[tiddlers]!is[system]has[caption]] +[search:text:regexp<validate.search.regexp>]" >

<$list filter=<<full.filter>>>

</$list>

</$set></$set>

it runs fine. So I think we need to know more about your regular expression, and maybe sample data. Better yet would be a page somewhere we could look at.

Hello, Mark S! Thank you for your attention to my question. The reason I have not included the entire text is because of its complexity. In particular, validate.search.regexp is a macro that uses another macro. And this whole tiddler doesn't work without it's transclusion through  the ViewTemplate. I can attach the export of all the necessary tiddlers, but it seemed to me that the right way to go by a more precise formulation of the question. 

Your answer inspired me with the idea that I should apply $wikify not only to the final macro, but also to the nested one. And voila! Everything works fine! Thank you for answering me, it really helped!
