remove tags meeting specific criteria

[paulgilbert2000]

HI ,

is there a command that could be used to remove certain tags that meet a specific criteria , say for example all tags that have a "#"  maybe ?

so if tiddler A  has "tag 1" "#tag 2" "tag 3"

is there a way to remove #tag 2  for example

i am also doing this part of creating a new  tiddler that inherits tags from another tiddler , but i dont want all of the tags

so i am hoping that there is something like that

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" remove tags= does not contain "#"

I think you will need to select the tag using filters, and pass it to a variable with $setwidget or $varswigdet. Then you can use that variable inside the action-sendmessage widget to reference the tags to be removed.

Try this:

<$button> test this

<$vars lb="[[" rb="]]">

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler"

   tags={{{ [[Tiddler A]get[tags]enlist-input[]!prefix[#]addprefix<lb>addsuffix<rb>join[ ]] }}} />

</$vars>

</$button>

Notes:

* [Tiddler A]get[tags] gets the tags field value as a single text string

* enlist-input[] converts this to a list of individual tags

* !prefix[#] filters out the undesired tags

* addprefix<lb>addsuffix<rb> adds doubled brackets surrounding each tag (in case the tag names contain spaces

* join[ ] reassembles the individual tags back into a single text string

enjoy,
