Using preprocessors inside filters with $param:

[ydfsjkowp]

I'm trying to write a preprocessor / filter that would convert the following:

Code: Select all

ts:"a b_b c_(test)"

Into this:

Code: Select all

t:a t:"b b" t:"c \(test\)"

I've gotten as far as writing the following command:

Code: Select all

#[REPLACETERMS:a b_b c_(test)#,:t:#[[:[regex-replace:[regex-replace:#[[:#term:#]]:,_, ],\(|\),\\$0]#]]:#]:

For each term, do the following:

• Replace all underscores "_" with space " "
• Add backslashes "\" to parenthesis "()"
• Prefix each term with the macro "t:"

And I can confirm that the command above works fine if typed directly into the search bar.

However, when I put it into a filter like this:

Code: Select all

#[REPLACETERMS:$param:#,:t:#[[:[regex-replace:[regex-replace:#[[:#term:#]]:,_, ],\(|\),\\$0]#]]:#]:

It just doesn't work anymore. I replaced the search term with $param:, but that doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

The search I'm using:

Code: Select all

ts:"a b_b c_(test)"

[void]

Please try removing quotes from the #param:

Code: Select all

#[REPLACETERMS:#[REMOVEQUOTES:#param:#]:#,:t:#[[:[regex-replace:[regex-replace:#[[:#term:#]]:,_, ],\(|\),\\$0]#]]:#]:

Yep that seems to work now, many thanks!!
