Use Obsidian Dataview to collect all callouts from your files

query-callouts-in-files.md

Your table

// Get all pages
const pages = dv.pages()

// This regex will find the contents of the callout [!quote]
// If you want a different type to be found, update the "quote" to the corresponding callout format
const regex = /\s*\>\s*\[\!quote\]\n\s*>\s*(.*)\n/gm

const rows = []
for (const page of pages) {
  // Read the file contents
  const file = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(page.file.path)
  const contents = await app.vault.read(file);
  
  // Find quotes
  const quotes = contents.match(regex) || [];
  
  // Add all quotes to the rows
  if (quotes.length > 0) {
    rows.push([page.file.link, quotes.join('\n')])
  }
}

// Create table
dv.table(['Link', 'Quotes'], rows)

This is so helpful, thank you! I'm trying to also sort the table by file creation date, and I'm struggling with the snippets I've found for sorting in the dataviewjs syntax. Do you have any suggestions for this?
