Search and replace patterns in current note

Help
1

Hello,

I have installed the plugin Apply Patterns to make something simple: uncheck all checked elements in current note.

The idea is to replace any ocurrence of - , - [p], - [-] by - and this plugin is intended to do that.

You can set patterns to search and replace and also convert then to commands so it could be very easy to make an specific search and replace.

But once installed and after rebooting Obsidian I dont find the Apply Patterns commands in the command palette.

I think it’s a bug of the plugin.

Do you know how to solve it or how to set specific search & replace operations for the current note?

I haven’t used it, but the use of the plugin and any issues/bugs folks have posted should be on their GitHub page.

I’d have a poke around there if you haven’t yet.

Well, I solved it using the Shell Commands plugin and making the modifications on the current note with a Python script.

I am very, very satisfied with the result. You can write any script, add a command in Obsidian to call it and, call it from the command palette, with hotkeys or with a custom buttom if you use the Buttons plugin.

Very, very cool, and with Python it is very easy to make any modification or manipulation on notes.

Excellent. Really in love with Obsidian! :heart_with_arrow:
