Actions for Obsidian › Actions › Search And Replace In Periodic Note

Searches for a string or regex pattern in the current Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly Note and replaces it.

This action will throw an error if there isn't a Periodic Note for the current date, so it's best to use it after the "Check For Existence Of Periodic Note" action has determined that there is one.

Parameters

Vault

The vault to work in.

Type: Vault reference

Periodic Note Lookup

Options:

  • Daily Note
  • Weekly Note
  • Monthly Note

Either a fixed string or a regular expression, depending on the setting "Search term is a regular expression".

Type: Boolean (YES/NO)

Open or focus note

If enabled, after a successful operation, the note will be brought to the front in Obsidian.
