How to list tiddlers with titles containing certain strings?

[Jimmy Chan]

I would like to list tiddlers with titles containing the string "abc".

However, it seems wildcard is not supported. For example, this doesn't work: <$list filter="[title[*abc*]]">

On the other hand the search[] operator seems to work with whole tiddler only and cannot be combined with the title[] operator. I tried this but didn't work either: <$list filter="[[title[search[abc]]">

Is there a way to do what I want? Thanks a lot.

At the moment there is just the "prefix" filter so "prefix[abc]" can be used.

Hi Jimmy

As Stephan says, there isn't yet a filter operator that can do wildcard searching. There is a proposal to add a regexp based search, which I think would do what you want.

Best wishes

Thanks Stephan and Jeremy. Nice to hear that regex may be implemented in the future. That's even better than wildcard.

Cheers,
Jimmy

I've implemented a regular expression search which you might want to test. See tiddler RegExpFilter on http://tiddlystuff.tiddlyspot.com/

Drag the 2 tiddlers

$:/core/modules/filters.js
$:/core/modules/filters/field.js

to your wiki, save and reload.
