filter titles with first word ending in "ing"

[Alex Hough]

HelloThere!

The starting point is this, try in in TW.com

<$set name="digit-pattern" value="\s*\S+ing">

Output:<<list-links "[regexp:title<digit-pattern>]">>

</$set>

I want to refine the filter so that it only returns those titles with the first word ending in "ing"

If I had a collection of Tiddlers

Waling to work

Crafting a cardigan

Singing a song

Book about walking

then the filter would only return the first four. 

thanks for any help

Ciao Alex

You meant the first three??

This is one way to do it ...

<$set name="digit-pattern" value="^\w+ing\b">

Output:<<list-links "[regexp:title<digit-pattern>]">>
</$set>

^ = start of string
\w+ = 1 or more letters
ing  = literal text
\b = word boundary

There is a simple reference to JavaScript Regular Expressions here.

Notte,
