Hi,
It seems that under Xemacs the ascii export just appends the new
export to the contents of the old export. If you have the old export
buffer open already then it inserts the new export into the old file
at the cursor.
The useful search i have started using, is similar to the GTD stuck
projects one. The search produces a view of stuck to-dos. That is a
list of todos that have been designated without a context. At the
moment i am using something like this in my
org-agenda-custom-commands:
("-" tags-todo "-study@-file@-appointment@-find@-@comp-@zangband-@online-email@-research@-contact@-plan@-read@-errand@-appointment@-buy@-15min@-30min@-60min@/X"
nil "")
where "X" is what i use to denote a TODO entry.
Cheers,
Tim.

I am not able to reproduce this. Anyone?

Nice! Does this contain all your tags, or only a selection?
You might be able to write this using a regular expression.

After some more investigation, i think it has to do with the
buffer/file not being erased before the ascii is rendered. It works
for html export, it does not for txt export. Not sure why this should
be, the code i looked at seems to try to clear the buffer.

only a selection. I use 5 groups of tags for active projects.
The first group just contains @proj - the active projcet tag. This is
used with the second group <@home|@work> which are inherited by all of
the active projects in the two huge org files i use for home and work.
The last three groups are generally @<physical context group> ,
<activity context group>@, and <possible duration context>@ which i
combine depending on the task.
I did think of a regular expression, the docs mention its possible,and
give a small example, but i couldn't get it to do what i wanted
straight away, and didn't want to spend the time figuring it out. I
considered suggesting a group name/selection type, but it seemed a bit
fiddly.
Tim.
