myfield: 
tags: [[get Operator]] [[Operator Examples]]
title: get Operator (Examples)
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

<<.operator-example 1 "[all[current]get[draft.of]]" "the title of the tiddler of which the current tiddler is a draft">>

<<.operator-example 2 "[get[tags]]" "returns the tags of all tiddlers without de-duplication">>

<<.operator-example 3 "[get[tags]unique[]]" "returns the tags of all tiddlers with de-duplication">>

<<.tip """If a data tiddler contains a field with an empty value, the empty string is not appended to the results.""">>

<<.operator-example 4 "[all[current]get[myfield]]" "the empty value of field <<.field myfield>> is not returned by the <<.olink get>> operator">>

<<.operator-example 5 "[all[current]has:field[myfield]] :map[get[myfield]]" "also returns the empty string">>
The above example works by first checking if the input title has the field <<.field myfield>> and then using the [[Map Filter Run Prefix]] to replace the title with their value of that field. If the input tiddler does not have the field, an empty <<.em selection>> is returned. The subsequent [[Map Filter Run Prefix]] outputs an empty <<.em string>> when its run returns an empty [[selection|Title Selection]] (because the field is empty).

<<.operator-example 6 "[all[tiddlers]] :filter[get[created]compare:date:lt{HelloThere!!created}]" "return all tiddlers that are older than [[HelloThere]]">>
The above example demonstrates two different ways of accessing field values in filters: Use <<.olink get>> when the title is not known in advance as with the [[Filter Filter Run Prefix]] where <<.var currentTiddler>> is set to the current input title. Use a [[TextReference]] as an indirect [[Filter Parameter]] when the title is known.
