Newbie question on split and regexp

[Guido B]

Hi

I'm still new to TW and I continue to struggle with the filter syntax. Here is what I try to achieve: 

• I use TW to jot down notes during conversations
• I use a custom field ("kontakt") to record who has attended a meeting
• For that purpose I use an abbreviation of the persons names, eg. "SSC, DKR, HMF" ( a comma-delimited list)
• For each person I have a tiddler with the full name of the person as its title
• The abbreviated name is in a custom field named "kuerzel"
• I would now like to append to each note a list of the attendees

What I was able to do was to use the following to list the attendee when only one person attended:

Code hier eingeben...
<$set name=kurzzeichen value= {{!!kontakt}}>

<<list-links filter:"[regexp:kuerzel<kurzzeichen>sort[title]]">>

</$set>

How can I generalized this when more than one person attended? I know that I have to somehow split the field "kontakt" into its parts (something like [[<kurzzeichen>]split[, ]]) and than to use the items of this newly created array to do the regexp-stuff. To be honest, I have, even after studying the various explanations and examples and googleing for hours, not the slightest idea of how to achieve this. So any hints would very much be appreciated!

Thanks, Guido

OK, I finally found the solution myself:

<$set name=contact value={{!!kontakt}}>

<$list filter="[<contact>splitregexp[, ]]" variable="item">

<<list-links filter:"[regexp:kuerzel<item>sort[title]]">>

</$list>

</$set>
