New to Dataview and code - I want to find all my notes with youtube links - please help

What I’m trying to do

I use readwise to import all my notes, I added source into the frontmatter but it does not pull the youtube source, it just pulls “reader”.

Here is the front matter that’s been imported:

Things I have tried

I’ve tried a few things, but still learning…

TABLE
From ""
WHERE contains("www"

I did read the docs here:
https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/queries/structure/

Was trying to make sense of this:

elink(url, [display])

Construct a link to an external url (like www.google.com). If provided with two arguments, the second argument is the display name for the link.

elink("www.google.com") => link element to google.com
elink("www.google.com", "Google") => link element to google.com, displays as "Google"

which I found here: Functions - Dataview

I also searched the forum, but some stuff was beyond me.

but I have a LOT to learn as I just can’t really figure this out. I can find tags though so that’s a + I think lol

To be honest I was just trying so many things I was making it up!

Thanks for looking

Try this:

```dataview
TABLE 
WHERE contains(URL, "www")
```

I’m not fully sure what you want, so this is assuming you want all files that contain ‘www’ in their URL frontmatter field.

If you just want all files where URL has a value (in other words, URL is not empty or nonexistent), this could also work:

```dataview
TABLE
WHERE URL != null
```

If you also want to display the URL in the table, you could try this:

```dataview
TABLE URL
WHERE URL != null
```
