What I’m trying to do

I try to create a template to remove the content under a specific header in Daily Notes.

Things I have tried

<%*
const view = app.workspace.activeLeaf.view;
const editor = view.editor;
const header = “### New Heading”;
const headerRegex = new RegExp((${header}\\n)([\\s\\S]*?)(?=\\n## |$), “g”);
const newContent = tp.file.content.replace(headerRegex, “$1”);
tR = newContent;
%>
what this code does, is creating a new file with the const header empty and append it to the original one.
I can’t figure out how to deal only with the content under the heading.

Why do you do this? Why do you add the header/content if you don’t want it? Why is there references to the editor when you don’t use it?

If you want to create another file, why don’t you use 'tp.file.create_new()`?

Please try to explain your use case a little more, as we then might be able to help you and not just ask questions…

I have a section with the task overdue (dataview) and 3 random notes to remind myself about that. This section is relevant only for the current day, so at the end of the day I want to remove those queries.

You can actually make a dataview query that would show different results depending on the current date, so you don’t have to edit the file itself.
