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.
