Moving to quartz from wordpress

I wanted to replace all instances of: _4626-550x367.jpg with: _-\d{3}x300 OR _-\300xd{3}

Step 10:

find:

\?resize=(\d{3})%2C\d{3}

replace:

|\1

Step 9: … Find:

\[<img src="\/static\/(\d{4}\/\d{2}\/[^"]+)"[^>]+\/>]\(([^)]+)\)

Replace:

![[/assets/uploads\/\1]]

Step 8: Yes this could be more efficient, replace the remaining html images Find:

\[<img\s+src="\/static\/(\d{4}\/\d{2}\/[^"]+)"[^>]+alt="([^"]+)"[^>]+>\]\(\/static(\/\d{4}\/\d{2}\/.*?)\)

Replace:

![[assets\/uploads\3|\2]]

Step 7: Replace other image links Notepad++ again Find:

(]\()(/static\/\d{4}\/\d{2}\/.*?)(\.jpg)

Replace:

\1/uploads\2-300x200\3

Step 6: Replace featured_image frontmatter with updated link Using Notepad++ regex search, with ”. matches newline” ticked Find:

(featured_image: )(/static\/\d{4}\/\d{2}\/.*?)

Replace:

\1/uploads\2

Step 5: Use FTP to download uploads from Wordpress install, and replace links in the markdown

Using Notepad++ regex search, with ”. matches newline” ticked

<a\s*href="http:\/\/sjgknight\.com\/finding-knowledge\/static\/(\d{4}\/\d{2}\/[^"]+)(?:".*?)>(.*?)<\/a>

Replace:

![[assets/uploads/\1|\2]]\n

This might leave behind some duplicates (for me at least, I had embeds followed by download buttons).

Step 4: Replace ‘categories’ with tags (because Obsidian can only handle one ‘tag’ type field) This’ll do it:

# assumes yaml, ymlthis, stringr, readr, and magrittr are installed
library(magrittr)
# Define a function to manipulate the yaml items
manipulate_yaml <- function(file) {
  # Read the yaml from the file
  y <- readr::read_file(file) 
  y <- stringr::str_split(y, pattern = "---") %>% .[[1]]
  content <- y %>% 
    .[3] 
  y <- y %>% 
    .[2] %>% 
    ymlthis::as_yml() 
  
  #y <- read_yaml(file)
  # Get the items between categories and tags
  items <- y$categories
  # Prepend categories/ to each item
  items <- paste0("category/", items)
  # Replace categories with tags
  y$tags <- append(y$tags, items)
  # Remove categories
  #y$categories <- NULL
  # Remove the second occurrence of tags
  #y$tags <- y$tags[1]
  
  #make the header text again
  y <- strsplit(yaml::as.yaml(y), "\n")
  # Return the modified file
  y <- c("---\n", y[[1]], "\n---\n", content, "\n")
  return(y)
}
 
# Get the paths of all .md files in a given directory
# You can change the directory to your desired one
dir <- "C:/.../"
files <- list.files(dir, pattern = "\\.md$", full.names = TRUE)
 
# Apply the function to each file and write the modified yaml back to the file
lapply(files, function(file) {
  # Manipulate the yaml
  y <- manipulate_yaml(file)
  # Write the yaml back to the file
  readr::write_lines(x = y,
                     file)
})
 

Step 3: Ensure the url string follows the : in the footnote: Find: (?<!\r[[:blank:]]|\n[[:blank:]])(\[\^)(\d+)(]:)(\n|\r|\R)(\S+) Replace: \1\2\3 \5

Step 2: Replace footnotes not preceded by a newline using: Find: (?<!\r[[:blank:]]|\n[[:blank:]])(\[\^)(\d+)(]:) Replace: \r\1\2\3\4

Step 1: Replace footnotes with [\d] form with [^\d] form Find: (\[)(\d+)(]) Replace: \[\^(\2)]

Step 0: First I used either the Wordpress export to Hugo plugin or the Wordpress export to Gatsby…I’ve forgotten. The markdown was pretty messy, so I ran the below (and then the regex above using notepad++…I forget which of these two:

1. node ./content/tomd.cjs
2. node ./content/tomdpan.cjs

tomd.cjs

PATH: "vault://tomd.cjs"
TITLE: "tomd.cjs" 

tomdpan.cjs

PATH: "vault://tomdpan.cjs"
TITLE: "and using pandoc tomdpan.cjs"
