What I’m trying to do
Hi,
the filenames of the pictures I take with the camera of my smartphone look like this:
“YYYYMMDD_hhmmss”.
These pictures are synced with my obsidian vault (in the folder “privat/Periodic notes/Media”) and I want to have dataview showing me the pictures I took on that day in my daily note, regardless of the time, or other additional characters behind the string “YYYYMMDD”.
… an additional challenge is, that my daily notes don’t have the format “YYYYMMDD”, but the format “YYYY-MM-DD”…
Things I have tried
The following dataview just shows .md-files:
```dataview
List
From "privat/Periodic notes/Media"
WHERE contains(file.name, this.file.name)
```
So my question to you are:
- how can I query for image-files?
- how can I transform the YYYYMMDD format of the image-files in the YYYY-MM-DD format of my dailiy notes?
- how can I embed image-files in a dataview query, without having the exact filename of the image-files (only the first 8 characters (the date))?
Thank you very much in advance,
kind regards,
Silias
