how to evaluate a dataview query mid script

[bassbogan]

to those who have experience with inline dataview queries + the inline scripts plugin - is there a way to get a shortcut (inline scripts) to return an evaluated inline dataview query? i.e. the script builds the syntax for the data view query =[[mynote]].frontmattervariable.value and lets say that actual value is '4'. It gets pasted in the note and will evaluate fine and resolve to 4 but only when the note is viewed ie. its pasting in =[[mynote]].frontmattervariable.value not '4'. I've been trying to use the expand function in line scripts to call this query and evaluate it so I can get back the value 4 to use in another calculation in the script but I keep getting =[[mynote]].frontmattervariable.value. Ideas?

is there a script only way of accessing data in notes so I can do away with the inline dataview query if that would solve the issue?

If dataview allows entering queries with javascript then this is possible, otherwise not. I'll look into it and get back to you.
