Question

Is there a way to make the row numbers appear in tables constructed using the %SEARCH% function ?

I tried the option of including %CALC{"$ROW()"}% as given below:

%SEARCH{ "^Automatic" web="%WEB%" scope="topic" type="regex" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on" format="| %CALC{"$ROW()"}% | [[$topic]] | $createwikiname | $createdate | $wikiname | $date |" }%

This gives the same number for all rows, as given below:

It works for 'normal' tables though, as given below with:

| %CALC{"$ROW()"}% | test1 |
| %CALC{"$ROW()"}% | test2 |
| %CALC{"$ROW()"}% | test3 |

You have to escape (or remove!) the quotes inside CALC{}, otherwise SEARCH{} can't parse format="..CALC{".."}.."=. But that gives the same number for each row:

So you also need to defer the CALC so that it gets executed once per search result, as described in "Search with conditional output" in FormattedSearch:

You need to do both. If you only defer the CALC and leave the quotes in, you get...

| %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{ | %CALC{

Perfect. Thank you very much Morgan. I should have seen the FormattedSearch before asking.

Do you by any chance have an answer to my other (still unanswered) question AccessRights ?
