Search und change text in TiddlyWiki

[philipp...@gmail.com]

Hi everybody,

I imported my TW Classic to TiddlyWiki Version: 5.1.14. In TW Classic I used to mark some words red by setting the following:  @@color(red):some text@@ 

Upgrading to TW5 didn't change this, but "some text" does not appear RED, except I change it to "@@color:red;some text@@

Is there a way to search the old expression and change it to the new one? Consider: not only one tiddler, but the whole TiddlyWiki!

Thanks

Philipp

You should be able to do this with TW Commander and it's search and replace feature.

In your replace box, you will need to escape the parentheses (e.g. ( and ) ) with slashes, like @@color(\red\):

In the type of replace you will need (I think) global multi-line.

Be sure to have a backup before trying any of this!

The other alternative if you have a single file wiki, is to open the html file in an editor such as notepad++ and do the search and replace.

• Be as detailed as you can and be carful not to get false matches, in this case changing  @@color(red):  to   @@color:red; should be fairly safe.

notepad++ worked very fine. With Commander-plugin I have to get more familiar.

Thanks and happy New Year
