can anyone fix my fail using REPLACE?

[iDINGUZ]

[
{
"type": "title",
"regex": "[",
"replace": "[["
},
{
"type": "content",
"regex": "[",
"replace": "[["
}
]

I use a single bracket for "WikiWords" in EVNERNOTE but want to see what [[backlinks]] look like in OBSIDIAN and the above didnt do it, I expect to run everything through twice to do the close "]"
--AND hello/thanks!

Hi @iDINGUZ ,
I think this should work, regex value has to have a syntactically correct regular expression, but as [ is a reserved character in regex (group separator), it has to be escaped:

[
{
"type": "title",
"regex": "\[",
"replace": "[["
},
{
"type": "content",
"regex": "\[",
"replace": "[["
},
{
"type": "title",
"regex": "\]",
"replace": "]]"
},
{
"type": "content",
"regex": "\]",
"replace": "]]"
}
]

Cheers,
akos

THANKS! escape characters are tricky I had seen double \ and I think tried it
BUT
it seems my trouble is on the OBSIDIAN side or more expectation of it to build a backlink index I sent through some un yarl edited manually double bracketing in evernote and it didnt add up to LINKS my usecase is just journaling so I will probably learn an OUTLINER and just use CODE FOLDING instead of FOLDERS one big ugly .MD.

If you dont mind me asking where did your EVERNOTES end up in?

Do you mean which note taking application I use currently? It is Obsidian, however I keep my eyes open to test any other brand new stuffs.
