FET code

[c.skye]

Hi All

trying to get an FT code to work----- I am trying to combine the code
to only pick up the last 10 tiddlers modified, with the code that
writes the first line of the tiddler....

<<forEachTiddler
sortBy
tiddler.modified
descending

write
'(index < 10) ? "* [["+tiddler.title+"]]\n" : ""'>>
----
<<forEachTiddler
where 'tiddler.tags.contains("themes")'
sortBy
tiddler.modified
descending

write
'(index < 10) ? '"|[["+tiddler.title+"]]|"+tiddler.modofier+"|\n":
""'>>

seems I have an extra character...but can´t see or find which?

You have an extra single-quote just after the ? in the following line:
'(index < 10) ? '"|[["+tiddler.title+"]]|"+tiddler.modifier+"|\n":

Note: while FET is very powerful, sometimes it can be easier to just
use plain javascript, like this:

<script>
var out="";
var tids=store.sortTiddlers(store.getTaggedTiddlers("themes"),"-
modified");
for (var t=0; t<tids.length && t<10; t++)
out+="|[["+tids[t].title+"]]|"+tids[t].modifier+"|\n";
return out;
</script>

enjoy,

Sorry, GoogleGroups word-wrapped a line containing some quoted text.

This should all be on one line:
---------------

var tids=store.sortTiddlers(store.getTaggedTiddlers("themes"),"-
modified");
