How to apply a regular expression to use only a part of a URL as a title.

[arunnbabu81]

As mentioned in the documentation, can you provide an example of using a regular expression to use only a part of the URL as title of the clipped tiddler.

As a example we can remove the 'path' part of a url, eg this page has url
https://github.com/buggyj/tiddlyclip-plugin/discussions/47

we can remove upto the last / can just use the number i.e '47' as part of the tiddler title, combining it with 'discussion' i.e.

"discussion 47"

---

step 1 create a new row in the TiddlyClipConfig

---

step 2 clone the defaultSnip tiddler and rename it DiscussionsSnip, then change the 'Title' to refrence another tiddler called 'TitleRule'

---

create the 'TitleRule' Tiddler, make sure the 'type is as shown'

---

reload you tiddlywiki and re-dock so the new method appears in the browser tiddlyclip context menu.

snip some text from this webpage (this discussion) using new method.

see the result -

I tried, but it's not working. I have attached a screenshot

What might be going wrong?

[buggyj]

the contents of the TitleRule should be

#rule=/[\s\S]*\/(.*?)$/g
#term=$1
$title=Discussion ((*@pageRef/#rule/#term*))

Thank you. I mistook \/ as V. Since I don't have any programming background I couldn't recognise that mistake.

Now its working
