I'm processing dictionary tiddler rows that each contain a sequence of values I need to handle individually. I'd love to use *enlist* in a filter to break apart each row for consumption by a <$list>. The problem with that approach is the rows may contain duplicate values that need to be preserved, and core filters/operators currently remove duplicates.
In looking for a solution I explored both the *split:list* filter from tobibeer and the *split* operator being introduced in TW v5.1.20, but neither is entirely suitable as a straight drop-in replacement for *enlist*. In short, *split:list* does not preserve duplicates despite its documentation appearing to say it should, and v5.1.20 *split* does not respect the double square bracket convention -- for values which include spaces -- as *enlist* does. (See this topic <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/nebauer%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/o7cwG5kYl4E/RGWe0QJIAgAJ> for more details, including test scripts and example output.) There is a github issue (#3757 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3757>) from early February which discussed the issue of v5.1.20 *math* operators not accepting duplicates, but it did not reach any resolution (at least, not yet). Has anyone else grappled with this problem and found a solution or workaround? Preferably one that does not involve hacking on core tiddlers... :-) Regards, David. P.S. I'm using TW 5.1.19/nodejs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
