Filter for cleaning the base, but keeping the basic settings.

[Mike Andyl]

Let's say I set everything up and want to make a new base. I want to remove only information posts, but keep all my own customizations, CSS and plugins.
Post with similar tags:
$:/tags/Stylesheet CSS
$:/tags/MenuBar
$:/tags/SideBar
...
etc

Am I thinking right? Or is it possible to clear the base faster?
And what filter is needed for this?
[all[tiddlers]] - ??? prefix[$:/]

I want to delete all my content posts, but not touch the "$:/*" tags.

[!is[system]] in the filter tab of Advanced search. But make sure you don't have any regular tiddlers that are needed for your template (base).

[Mike Andyl]

I tried it doesn't fit. Since many records are not related to the system. It is necessary to do on the tag, I think so. For example, new buttons with the tag  $:/tags/SideBar. This is not a system entry and it will disappear.

I think  you are somewhat doing this around the wrong way.

Use a filter to list all your non-content tiddlers, eg the tiddler you use in the side bar etc... macros etc...

• You may use a title prefix, tag or even a field with a value eg; project=setup then the filter [all[]project[setup]]

Then you can have a filter that lists every tiddler "[all[]!is[system]]" thing that is not in your above filter. eg; "[all[]!is[system]!project[setup]]"

Both sets of tiddlers can be exported separately and then imported into an empty.html

This is understandable, but it requires additional actions. I can forget or miss something in a hurry, I cannot do it with someone else's databases or an old database, and so on. It's just that we already have the NECESSARY attribute - the beginning of the tag with "$:/".

How can I subtract all such entries from all[]!is[system] ?
It sounds very simple, can't filters really do that?

miket,

You can remove and add back

[all[]!is[system]] [tag[$:/tags/MenuBar]] [tag[$:/tags/SideBar]]

Thus above is all tiddlers except system, tiddlers adding back those tagged  $:/tags/MenuBaror  $:/tags/SideBar

Ok, but I can skip and delete something I want anyway. Forget the important tag in a year or two :)

I have a list of tags [tags[]prefix[$:/]]
Can I wrap it like a <list>? Make a button action so it can process in a loop?
<$action-deletetiddler...

Something like this, but I'm confused about the variables again.
Why isn't -[tag[<<TagToDelete>>]] working?

<$list filter="[tags[]prefix[$:/]]" variable="TagToDelete">
  <br><<TagToDelete>><br>
  <$list filter="[all[]!is[system]] -[tag[<<TagToDelete>>]]" variable="tidToDelete">
    <<tidToDelete>><br>
  </$list>
</$list>

I realized that the task is more difficult. It is necessary not only to process it in a loop, but to form a new line with all the tags.
Can TiddlyWiki work with strings? I have not found such examples anywhere.
In another language, I would do this:

t = "[all[]!is[system]]"

<$list filter="[tags[]prefix[$:/]]" variable="TagToDelete">

    t = t + " -[tag[" + <<TagToDelete>> + "]]"
</$list>

<$list filter= t variable="tidToDelete">
    <$action-deletetiddler $tiddler=<<tidToDelete>>/>
</$list>

If I understand your goal, you want to identify all tiddlers that are not system tiddlers, excluding those that have a tag that starts with $:/

Here's the filter syntax that does that:

[all[]!is[system]] -[tags[]prefix[$:/]tagging[]]

Then, you want to delete all tiddlers matching that filter.

You can do this directly using the filter tab in $:/AdvancedSearch.

Just enter the filter syntax as shown above and then press the delete button (trash can icon)

You can also do this by defining a $button that triggers $action-deletetiddler using a $filter parameter rather than a $tiddler parameter, like this:

<$button> delete content

   <$action-deletetiddler $filter="[all[]!is[system]] -[tags[]prefix[$:/]tagging[]]" />

</$button>

enjoy,

Addendum: You can also save the desired filter syntax and re-use it later:

1) Create a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Filter

2) Add a field named "description" with a value of: All Content Tiddlers

3) Add a field named "filter" with a value of: [all[]!is[system]] -[tags[]prefix[$:/]tagging[]]

4) Add a field named "list-before" with a blank field value

Then, in the $:/AdvancedSearch filter tab, you can press the "down arrow" next to the filter edit field to see

a list of pre-defined filters and select "All Content Tiddlers" which will appear as the first item in the list.

This looks just what it needs! This is what I meant at the beginning.

But for the sake of curiosity 🤓 . I tried to do through the list.

filter="[tags[]prefix[$:/]]"

Is it possible to make a variable in a list that will collect all the values?
[all[]!is[system]] + '-[tag[*list result*]]'
+ '-[tag[*list result*]]'
+ '-[tag[*list result*]]'
...

And you get something like
<<myVar>>  = [all[]!is[system]] -[tag[$:/tags/Stylesheet]] -[tag[$:/tags/PluginLibrary]] -[tag[$:/tags/Macro]] -[tag[$:/tags/Palette]]

And <$list filter=<<myVar>>

-----
Or in another way. I can do tiddler "Sys Tag" only with a filter

[all[]!is[system]]
<$set name="myVar" filter="[tags[]prefix[$:/]]">
<$list filter=<<myVar>>> -[tag[<$link/>]]</$list>
</$set>

And one more with a button. Can I link to text from another post as a filter?

<$button>
  <$list filter={{Sys Tag}} variable="tidToDelete">

    <$action-deletetiddler $tiddler=<<tidToDelete>>/>
  </$list>

  DEL!
</$button>
