Hide tag text from Dataview list

[danOS]

What I’m trying to do

Hi,

I have a query that returns a list of all bullet points tagged with #quote and #fav:

[!QUOTE] FAVOURITE QUOTES

LIST Lists.text
FROM #quotes and #fav
WHERE !contains(file.name, "Template") 
FLATTEN file.lists AS Lists 

I am trying to display the resulting test without the “#quote” and “#fav” displaying at the end, but cannot figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan

You could try something like the following:

```dataview
LIST replace( replace( item.text,
  "#quote", ""),
  "#fav", "") 
WHERE !contains(file.name, "Template")
FLATTEN file.lists as item
```

Note however that also meddles with tags like #favorite if you happen to use it… Depending on how you write your list items, you could possible add a space in the search pattern.

The query essentially does a replace() on an already replaced string in order to get two replacements. This pattern could be extended further with more lines if you want to replace more stuff.

An alternative is to use regexreplace() where we can also check on word boundaries using \b, and then the query looks like this:

```dataview
LIST newText
FLATTEN file.lists as item
FLATTEN regexreplace(item.text, "#(quote|fav)\b", "") as newText
WHERE !contains(file.name, "Template")
```

Here I’ve also used an extra FLATTEN to illustrate how we can keep the result in another variable, newText. If you prefer, you could do LIST regexreplace(...)
