On 24Aug04, Roger asks about searching outline titles:
If I create a hundred outlines and put them in a special directory, I would like to search for all outlines which start with the word Phone and display them sorted alphabetically, to create a few phone books, for example.
An undocumented feature of tkoutline's inter-outline links is the ability to specify glob 1 patterns in the link name and have it match multiple files. If there are multiple files that match, then when the link is clicked, an outline with a list of links to all the matching files is constructed. That list of links is sorted alphabetically. Does that fit what you had in mind?
Example:
If you had an outline titled Phone - home and another titled Phone - work, then a link like Phone* will when clicked show a new outline with a list similar to the following:
where each item is a link to that outline.
