Get Raw text output from Javascript macro

[Mohammad]

In TW macro the below pragma 

\rules only

prevents the macro output from wikification! Is there such a practice for Tiddlywiki JavaScript macro?

I mean how prevent TW from wikification of a JS macro output or how get the raw text as output?

Hi Mohammad

To render the plain output of a JS macro you can do this:

<pre><$text text=<<dumpvariables>>/></pre>

If you need the output in a variable you’ll need to use the wikify widget:

<$wikify name="output" text="""<pre><$text text=<<dumpvariables>>/></pre>""">

<$text text={{{ [<output>split[|]join[||]] }}} />

</$wikify>

Best wishes

Hi Jeremy

Many thanks for your reply!

I will make some experiment and will return to you!

Cheers

Hi Jeremy

Thanks a million, it works!

Just one further question, if I have to call my macro using $macrocall widget, how can I do this?

Example when I have to pass other variables as input parameter to my macro!

Try something like this:

<$text text={{{ [<output>split[TiddlyWiki]join[WikiTiddly]] }}} />

Thanks Jeremy!

 I think I did not correctly asked the second questions: In the below example

<$wikify name="output" text="""<pre><$text text=<<dumpvariables>>/></pre>""">

<$text text={{{ [<output>split[|]join[||]] }}} />

</$wikify>

How can I call macro using $macrocall? One use-case is where the input parameters are variable themselves.

Still I need the result without wikifivation?

Jeremy,

 This may not seems the correct solution, but If I warp the <pre><$text text=<<dumpvariables>>/></pre> in another macro, then I can pass vars as $(var)$ and uses the <<mycar p1 p2 3p3>> format!

Please advise!

I’m afraid that goes back to something we’ve discussed before: there isn’t a way to get the results of a macrocall widget into a variable without wikification:

Hi Jeremy,

That's right! 

By the way as you advised in your first post and wrapping the my macro into another macro I could get the non-wikified e.g. the raw text into 

a variable. I think the magic is your clever solution in the below script "<pre><$text text=<<dumpvariables>>/></pre>".

\define mac()
<pre><$text text=<<regexpsub sourceText:"""$(source)$""" searchValue:$(searchValue)$ replaceValue:$(replaceValue)$ caseSensitive:$(caseSensitive)$>>  /></pre>
\end


\define another-macro(.......)
<$wikify name="result" text=<<mac>> >
<$text text=<<result>>/>
...
\end

I use this in my new search-n-replace code (I call it SNR2) to call a JS macro and

do a search-n-replace.

I will upload the solution shortly.

Many thanks for your time and your clever solution.

Cheers

Mohammad

Hi Jeremy

 See your solution in action. SNR2

Of course, I gave up too early. Here’s a method that works in the cases I’ve tried:

<$wikify name="output" text="""<$macrocall $type="text/plain" $name="dumpvariables"/>""">

<$text text=<<output>>/>

</$wikify>

The trick is to use the “type” attribute of the macrocall widget. It causes it to interpret the text as plain text, rather than wikitext. However, if you try <$macrocall $type="text/plain" $name="dumpvariables"/> on it’s own you’ll see that it puts the text in a plain text block (like triple backticks). The wikify widget lets us extract the plain text from that output.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy

 This is absolutely much better than the previous one I used. It works for me.

Thank you Jeremy

Cheers
