const vault = this.app.vault
const file = this.app.workspace.getActiveFile()
const target = input.target
const msg = input.msg
const tokenStartMultilineInsert = input.tokenStartMultilineInsert || "INSERT"
const tokenEndMultilineInsert = input.tokenEndMultilineInsert || "END"
const exprMultiline = RegExp(`(%%).*?(${tokenStartMultilineInsert} ${target}).*?(%%)[^]*?(%%).*?(${tokenEndMultilineInsert} ${target}).*?(%%)`, "gm")
//unused as of now, couldnt make it not break things
//const tokenStartInlineInsert = input.tokenStartInlineInsert || "INLINE"
//const exprInline = RegExp(`(%%).*?(${tokenStartInlineInsert} ${target}).*?(%%).*`, "gm")
await vault.process(file, (data) => {
//clear whatever is between the ml tokens
data = data.replace(exprMultiline, `%% ${tokenStartMultilineInsert} ${target} %%\n%% ${tokenEndMultilineInsert} ${target} %%`)
//fill in our target text
data = data.replace(exprMultiline, `%% ${tokenStartMultilineInsert} ${target} %%\n${msg}%% ${tokenEndMultilineInsert} ${target} %%`)
return data
})
useable in dataview and documents as such:
await dv.view("Scripts/dv_insert", { target: "A", msg: toRender})
%% INSERT A %%
%% END A %%
Not sure if theres any significant drawbacks to this method but its dead simple, stupid and seems to work fine for me, for now.
