Hi John,
I have a very similar use case. I capture all my stuff into a date tree
and for my weekly report I parse that and extract a subset. It looks a
bit crude (hardcoded stuff for my setup) but works for now. I must say
that date-trees in their current form feel a bit un-org-mody as they use
a completely different data format:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun mp26/org-find-headline-prefix-in-buffer (heading &optional buffer
pos-only)
"Find node with heading-prefix HEADING in BUFFER.
Return a marker to the heading if it was found, or nil if not.
If POS-ONLY is set, return just the position instead of a marker.
The heading prefix must match as prefix of the full headline. It
may have a TODO keyword, a priority cookie and tags in the
standard locations."
(with-current-buffer (or buffer (current-buffer))
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(widen)
(goto-char (point-min))
(let (case-fold-search)
(if (re-search-forward
(format org-complex-heading-regexp-format
(concat (regexp-quote heading) ".*")) nil t)
(if pos-only
(match-beginning 0)
(move-marker (make-marker) (match-beginning 0)))))))))
; fixme: optional parameter for starting date
(defun mp26/org-week-from-journal ()
"Insert a copy of the current week from the journal."
(interactive)
(insert
(mapconcat
'identity
(with-current-buffer "Journal.org<Daten>"
(loop for days in '(-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0)
collect
(let* ((date (calendar-current-date days))
(date-string
(format "%d-%02d-%02d"
(nth 2 date) (nth 0 date) (nth 1 date))))
(setq pos (mp26/org-find-headline-prefix-in-buffer
date-string nil t))
(when pos
(goto-char pos)
(org-copy-subtree)
(car kill-ring)))))
"")))
