Using regexmatch for subtags

[knotiome]

As I begin to dig into Dataview, I am realizing how incredible it is. Thanks for this amazing plugin!

Currently, I am designing a setup to tag notes with various information using a single nested tag, really leveraging the autocomplete for ease while adding these monster tags.

A certain specific note might get the tag:

#ty/base/con/light/birth/mom/smile/pod

For context, here is a key:

#tag/type/category/subcategory/scene/element/action/location

Now, in order to table all notes with mom as the subtag in the element slot, I was trying to build a table query like this:

TABLE file.etags
WHERE filter(file.etags, (t) => regexmatch("#[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/mom+/[^/]+/[^/]", t))

Unfortunately, the table does not return any matches. But, with a little experimentation, I was able to get it to "work" by adapting the tag in the note to instead be:

#ty/base/con/light/birth/mom/smile/pod/0

After doing this, I could use the following query:

TABLE file.etags
WHERE filter(file.etags, (t) => regexmatch("#[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/mom+/[^/]+/[^/]+/0", t))

I am here searching for any clues as to how I might build the query so that I do not have to add this useless /0 subtag onto the end. I should mention that I am not 100% committed to this setup by any means, so if there is an obvious alternate workflow, I would greatly appreciate any pointers.

Thanks in advance!

The 0 tag is not needed - I think your regex is just missing a "+" at the end:

#[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/mom+/[^/]+/[^/]+

You can test complex regexes like this using an online regex tool like regex101: https://regex101.com/.

Now I'm hooked.

Thanks so much!
