title: Editing Tiddlers with Emacs
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
This [[Emacs|http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/]] function from Michael Fogleman simplifies editing tiddlers in `*.tid` files by automatically updating the `modified` field.
If you have Emacs, you can save this function somewhere (such as in your init file). When you finish editing a tiddler, you can call the function, and it will update the modified time.
> Help Wanted: Even better would be a TiddlyWiki-mode that used this function as a save-hook
```
(defun tid-time ()
"If called in a tiddler file, this function updates the metadata to
reflect the modification time."
(interactive)
(when
(and
(> (length (buffer-file-name)) 4)
(string-equal (substring (buffer-file-name) -4) ".tid"))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(search-forward "modified: ")
(beginning-of-line)
(kill-line)
(insert (format-time-string "modified: %Y%m%d%H%M%S%3N")))))
```
