Hi, Mat — Tobias's setvars plugin may be able to come to your rescue here. With it installed you could write something like this:
\define c() <$count filter="[prefix[New]]"/> <$setvars _count=<<c>> count="count"> <$button> <$action-setfield result=<<count>> result2=<<count>>/> x </$button> </$setvars> Setvars uses underscore-prefixed "attributes" to capture dynamic content and then sets "variables" using combinations of the specified attributes. (You can also set variables directly if they're text strings, but I use it regularly to capture wikified output and set it as a variable to use in something that follows.) Here, _count=<<c>> gets the wikified output of your <<c>> macrocall, and count="count" sets the variable count (which you refer to with macrocall <<count>> within the scope of the current instance of <$setvars>) to be that text string. You could also use <$setvars> to build out the entire <$action-setfield> widget string: \define c() <$count filter="[prefix[New]]"/> <$setvars _count=<<c>> button-action="""\<$action-setfield result="\ count \" result2="\ count \ "/>\""" > <$button> <<button-action>> x </$button> </$setvars> The backslashes set off literal text in a variable declaration and spaces, so the variable button-action here is being built from literal strings and variables (well, one variable here: count). You can get setvars here: https://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#setvars It's one of those plugins I sometimes think might be worth incorporating into the core, if only because I use it for virtually *everything*. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
