How to match a partial tag with fET

[whatever]

Hi!
Is there a way to match a partial tag with fET? For example, I have
tags like [[born 1978]], [[born 1985]], [[born 1991]] and so on and
I'd like to check if the tiddler contains a tag that contains "born".
There are too many years and they're not sequential. I tried
incorporating the match function and using a regular expression
(match(/born \d*/)), but I keep getting an error.
Any ideas?

Hi w,
You might try:
<<forEachTiddler where
'tiddler.tags.sort().join("]]").contains("born")'>>
though that, I think will get you any tiddler whose tags contain the
letters "born" (anywhere).
I'd be curious to hear if there is a way to look for tags that start
with a certain letter or combination of letters.

Yes, that did the trick, although I omitted ".sort()".
Thanks,

Hi cmari and whatever

What does sort do in this instance?

I don't see any difference in the output..

The sort() function sorts the tags, however, in my case, that is not
necessary, since it doesn't matter where the string is, I'm merely
checking for its presence.

Thanks for answering my simple question. 

How do you make it sort by tiddler.title to uppercase?

<<forEachTiddler where 'YourCondition' sortBy
'tiddler.title.toUpperCase()'>>
Just replace YourCondition with your own parameters. You can also use
toLowerCase() to sort, however, I'm not sure what the difference is,
if any.

Hi Whatever

Thanks, this works fine:

<<forEachTiddler where 'YourCondition' sortBy
'tiddler.title.toUpperCase()'>> ...
