Converting a WikiFile to a WikiFolder from the command line or a nodejs environment?

[Matthew Lauber]

All, 

   I'm working on a task where I need to convert a tiddlywiki file into a wiki folder.  I'm really not picky about the process, so long as I can automate it.  Right now, I've tried 

tiddlywiki /path/to/wikifolder --load wikifile.html --init server
tiddlywiki /path/to/wikifolder  --init server --load wikifile.html
tiddlywiki /path/to/wikifolder --load wikifile.html --savetiddlers [all[tiddler+system]] /tmp/test2/tiddlers
tiddlywiki /path/to/wikifolder --load wikifile.html ---rendertiddlers [all[tiddlers]] $:/core/templates/tid-tiddler /path/to/wikifolder/tiddlers text/vnd.tiddlywiki .tid

None of these actually build the folder structure the same way that a wikifolder does.  And AFAIK, there is not 

tiddlywiki --load wikifile.html --save /path/to/wikifolder

If anyone has some advice I'd love some help.

tiddlywiki --load wikifile.html --save /path/to/wikifolder

The process I use for splitting TW HTML files into individual .tid files is shown in ./bin/ginsu.sh. The critical lines are:

node ./tiddlywiki.js \
./editions/empty \
--verbose \
--load $1 \
--output tmp \
--rendertiddlers [!is[system]] $:/core/templates/tid-tiddler ginsu text/plain .tid

In terms of folder structure, all the .tid files end up in the same directory.

You can see an example of a more complex splitting process in the translator edition, where separate rendertiddlers commands are used for each directory of output files:

Is that what you need?

Best wishes

That's what I needed. The lack of the noclean option was what was confusing me.
