This should be fun. I have many research notes to which I have assigned multiple keywords, or tags. These keywords (tags) are listed at the end of each entry in a Word document with each keyword preceded by the letters "tg" (e.g.: tgreaction, tgpersonality, tgwaste, trganxiety, tggames). I would like to create my own index of all of these tags. Here's what I envision happening with the help of Keyboard Maestro:
-
After selecting all of the tags at the end of a given entry (at the moment they are delimited by commas and spaces, specifically a comma followed by a space) -
Copy and paste them to the new location -
Reformat them so that they are now in an alphabetized list, one word per line, without the leading "tg", resulting in the following:
anxiety
games
personality
reaction
waste
In the future (let's start small here; the rest of this is a little half-baked) I would like to attach a link to each keyword showing all the individual research notes to which they are attached (I can see now that each research note should probably be a numbered record and the keywords would be part of the keyword field). Just musing out loud, so to speak. I think, for now all I want is to select the keywords in their present format and then start the macro to create the list.
Sorry for rambling there at the end. It's sort of a big project with lots of small parts. One step at a time.
I'll be back.
Many thanks ahead of time.
