Opa

I was not aware that the return ends the scrip..now you point it
out it seems so obvious !!!

text.replace...I thought you were refering to a TW function and not
the basic javascript

guess I should go back to bed and try again tomorrowwhen my brain
is fully engaged...

thanks for your patience!!!

You are *already* using the .replace(...) function, here:

var firstreplace=text.replace("

Hi Again

Thanks Eric. so now I have


var ref="???";
var tids=store.getMatchingTiddlers(ref);
for (var t=0; t>");
var fullref=firstreplace.slice(0,endref);
var newtext=fullref+"|\n|Autor||\n|Editora||\n|Fonte|www|\n|Tipo|pdf|\n
\n!!Comentarios\n";
return newtext;
  store.saveTiddler( tids[t].title, tids[t].title, newtext,
tids[t].modifier, tids[t].modified,tids[t].tags, tids[t].fields);
autoSaveChanges();
story.displayTiddler(tids[t].title,null);
}


..yes...in this case I am searching for tag "???" and only want to
change the text..in my code I output newtext.and can see that
the string manipulation of the original text is correctbut it is
still not overwriting the new text.the tiddler still shows the
original text...seems the store.saveTiddler part is not
functioning...thats the part that I cant get right.

You mentioned I could use "text.replace(..)" ... I am not familiar
with that function...how does it work...syntax...

Thanks
Skye

If you are just doing this on a one-time basis, you should be able to
use
   http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TiddlerTweakerPlugin
which will let you select multiple tiddlers and then replace text,
based on a *pattern*.

However, if the purpose of your script is to generalize the process
for repeated use, then we need to figure out what is wrong with the
code.  Let's take it a few lines at a time:

Open up the HTML file with your favorite code editor, or treat it as 
plaintext with your favorite regexp text-processing tools.
