Exporting wikified text to csv

[Rob Jopling]

I note that when I export a selection of tiddlers to a CSV file it exports the text field as raw text.

Is there a way by which I can export the text field as wikified text?

I have played around with the wikifywidget but cannot work out to get round the obvious transclusion errors.

Rob,

The solution could be quite subtle, could you share a minimal example of your code?, or ideally and example that demonstrates the problem on tiddlywiki.com or an empty.html?

With code unseen these are my strategies

• Check each set of the process to see the results
• Wikify at the last possible moment in where it is needed
• Are you using the output parameter on the wikify, check and or set that

Regards

Tony

Thanks Tony

I now have an idea as to how to do this. I will codify my idea and I will get back to you.

Cheers

Rob

Hi Tony

I did manage to solve my problem.

I created a button which selects the required tiddlers by tag, and then for each tiddler it copies the wikified content of the text field to a new field. Then when I export the tiddlers as a csv I have a column with the plain text as required.

Seems to work fine.

Thanks for your interest.

Rob,

Great to hear and thanks for sharing back. Since this original post of yours, I have being playing further in this space myself.

Do share a code snipit when possible. 

Best wishes

Tones

Tony

I will do that.

But how do you share a code snippet in a box like I have seen in many posts?

Tony

This is the code that I used

This button will copy the contents of the text field of the filtered tiddlers to a field called wikified text. All wikitext characters are omitted and the text will be plain text.<br>


<$button>
click here
<$list filter="[tag[test]]">
<$wikify name=text1 text={{{ [{!!title}get[text]] }}}>
<$action-setfield $tiddler={{!!title}} $field="wikitext" $value=<<text1>> />
</$wikify>
</$list>
</$button>

I trust that it makes sense.

I was pleased that I got it to work as I am very new to coding although I have been using TW in a very basic way for many years.

Thanks for your help.

Rob
