Re: [tw5] Storing the result of a macro in raw form and pass it to a tiddler text field
Jeremy,
I tested your solution and it works, BUT, this is true if utility macro
itself contains wikitext like example above.
If utility itself call other macro or have some scripts, then it will fail,
look at the below case
\define mac2(p) {{{ [<__p__>split[]addprefix[c]] }}}
\define utility(a, b)
This is //$a$// and ''$b$''.
<$macrocall $name="mac2" p=<<__a__>> />
\end
\define test(a,b)
<$set name="newText" value=<>>
<$text text=<> />
\end
<>
The output is:
This is //italic// and ''bold''. <$macrocall $name="mac2" p=<<__a__>> />
While I expect;
This is //italic// and ''bold''. cictcaclcicc

Re: [tw5] Storing the result of a macro in raw form and pass it to a tiddler text field
Mohammad, I think Jeremy is suggesting storing the macro output in a variable as a future feature. This is a bit like allowing us to pipe the output of one macro into another. I think this would be helpful, and would make some solutions much easier to code. I would love to find a way to store a variable in a more permanent form without a button. Or store it in a field or text reference. Even if the value must be reevaluated on render.

Re: [tw5] Storing the result of a macro in raw form and pass it to a tiddler text field
Thank you Jeremy!
Lets see how can I use your solution in my case and I return to you by me
results.
By the way I am curious about the last paragraph of your reply:
An alternate solution that might be useful would be an alternate mode to

How this is possible? There is nothing in
documentation: https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#MacroCallWidget
Is it like below
<$macrocall store=?>
scope of that var
Best regards
Mohammad

Re: [tw5] Storing the result of a macro in raw form and pass it to a tiddler text field
Hi Mohammad
Thanks that’s great.
I think the button is actually a red herring, and you can see the same
behaviour with this simplified version:
\define utility(a, b) This is //$a$// and ''$b$''.
\define test(tidName, v1, v2)
<$wikify name="newText"
text="""<$macrocall $name="utility"
a=<<__v1__>> b=<<__v2__>>
/>""">
<$text text=<> />
\end
<>
You don’t actually need the wikify widget here; the trick is to use macro
parameter textual substitution:
\define utility(a, b) This is //$a$// and ''$b$''.
\define test(a,b)
<$set name="newText" value=<>>
<$text text=<> />
\end
<>
Using textual substitution isn’t ideal because of the issues with quoting (e.g.
the example above will fail if the parameter values started with three double
quotes).
An alternate solution that might be useful would be an alternate mode to the
<$macrocall> widget whereby it makes the result of calling the macro available
as a variable, instead of directly rendering it.
Best wishes

Re: [tw5] Storing the result of a macro in raw form and pass it to a tiddler text field
Hi Jeremy,
I tried to reproduce a simple example though may seem meaningless.
\define utility(a, b) This is //$a$// and ''$b$''.
\define test(tidName, v1, v2)
<$wikify name="newText"
text="""<$macrocall $name="utility"
a=<<__v1__>> b=<<__v2__>>
/>""">
<$action-setfield $tiddler="""$tidName$""" $field="text" $value=<>
/>
\end
<$button>Do it
<>
What I expect is to see the myTiddley text field as
This is //italic// and ''bold''.
But I see this
This is italic and bold.
--Mohammad
PS: The real story is I am developing a code to search and replace a string
in a tiddler text field.
