How do I use "searchNreplace?"

[Banggao Jin]

Hi, I wanted to remove all "==" from my TiddlyWiki. How do I proceed? Thank you 

[Mohammad]

A simple solution is to use the Commander. First read the tutorial

TW-Commander bulk operations on tiddlers

jin,

If you know what you are doing you could edit a single file tiddlywiki directly, however a method line Mohammad suggested is safer.

Where in tiddlywiki do you have these "==" values?

Here's one way...

Put the following into a tiddler to create a button.  Then click the button:

<$button> remove "=="

   <$list filter="[all[tiddlers]!is[system]search:text[==]] -[<currentTiddler>]">

      <$action-setfield text={{{ [<currentTiddler>get[text]split[==]join[]] }}} />

   </$list>

</$button>

Notes:

1) The $list filter finds every tiddler that contains at least one occurrence of "==" (excluding the tiddler containing the button itself)

2) For each tiddler found, it gets the text content, splits it at each occurrence of "==" (removing the "==" in the process), and then joins the remaining text

3) It then replaces the original text content with the re-assembled text without the "=="

Be sure to backup your document before trying this, as it can change lots of tiddlers with a single click!

enjoy,

I agree with Mohammad that his Tiddler Commander is the single best tool to use in TW for bulk search and replace.

That said, It is vital to grasp that TW does NOT have UNDO that much regular software has.

So ALWAYS be SURE you know what you are doing! As most changes are irreversible. 

BACKING up before changes is essential!
