Hello,
  First of all I would like to say how much I like Tiddlywiki. I really enjoy using it to store all kinds of information. Someday, hopefully, I will understand it enough that I can contribute to the community.

For now I want to know if there is a way to export multiple tiddlers to a single json file. Say I have a bunch of individual tiddlers all tagged "How To's" and I want to export them into a single json file, is this possible?
Basically I want to export a bunch of tiddlers that I use for inventory of a bunch of servers. Each tiddler has custom fields I use for OS, CPU, and such. I would like to export it all out to a json file, or even a csv I suppose, so I can bring the data into another application, excel or a sqldb for example.
I am trying to avoid having to go through and export each one individually and then try using JQ to try to combine them into one file, (have not had luck doing that).
Thanks for any help. I hope there is not an obvious answer that I somehow missed.

The answer is quick but unfortunately not obvious.

Go to the $:/AdvancedSearch tiddler (click on the magnifying glass icon next to the search in the side bar) and in that tiddler open the Filter tab. In the text box there enter a filter that list all the tiddlers you want to export (in your example the filter would be [tag[How To's]] ), below the text box you should see a list of all the tiddlers. Then click on the export icon to the right of the text box (it has an arrow pointing up) and select JSON File from the list that pops up. It should download a json file that contains all the tiddlers listed.

Wow that was quick; this community Rocks.
Thank you. I had a feeling there was something in there that would allow this. Sorry I missed it.
Again Thank you.

Hi,

The Bundler-plugin, that I created may be an option.

See: Intro thread and The plugin!
