Hi All,
I now use org-mode for everthing I can. Unfortunately, the rest of
the world is still stuck in Excel-land.
I have a long and detailed org file for each project arranged as follows:
* Priority 1:
** Project: <name>
*** Number: <number>
*** Key1: <value1>
*** Key2: <value2>
*** Key3: <long multi-line text comment - value3>
* Priority 2:
** Project: <name>
*** Number: <number>
*** Key1: <value1>
*** Key2: <value2>
*** Key3: <long multi-line text comment - value3>
and so on. There are multiple "Projects" per "Priority". There may be
multiple "Numbers" per "Project".
I'd like an easy way to export this data to an Excel table, or better yet, CSV.
So,
Priority,Project, Number, Key1, Key2, Key3
<priority>,<name>, <number>, <value1>, <value2>, <value3>,
<priority>,<name>, <number>, <value1>, <value2>, <value3>,
and so on....
Ideally I'd like to do this from within org-mode. (Alternatively I can
just write some quick python (or whatever) to do this for me.)
Any ideas?
Thanks
SM

org-export-generic can *almost* do this for you by carefully setting the
header open/close to simply be ", " for opening and a "\n" for closing
on header 2 (I think; haven't tested it).
But, it won't remove the text: prefix at the beginning of the fields.
It' be simple to pass the results through sed 's/, [^:]*:/,/g' though.
