Hi,

If I have captured stuff in a journal file like so:

* 2017
** 2017-06 June
*** 2017-06-01 Thursday
**** Tweaked .bashrc
Added some aliases
*** 2017-06-02 Friday
**** Tweaked .emacs
Added some abbreviations
*** 2017-06-07 Wednesday
**** Tweaked .tweakrc
Set up autotweak

does Org provide any way of extracting just the level 3 headlines for a
given 7 day period?

Cheers,

Loris

If you have org timestamps on those headlines, you might be able to use
org-sparse-tree (C-c /) with the D option (dates range).

Each headline has an inactive timestamp like this:

  Added: [2017-06-28 Wed 10:35]

So, following

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/advanced-searching.html

I tried

  C-c m a

with

  TIMESTAMP_IA>="<-1w>"

but there was no match.  Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Loris

Not sure as I do not know what that is bound to!  I suggested using
org-sparse-tree (normally bound to C-c /) with the D option.  Have you
tried that?

Sorry, I should have said that I did indeed try what you suggested, but
to no avail - no entries were found in the selected time period.

Doing 'C-c a' brings up the agenda commands menu and the option 'm' is
'Match a TAGS/PROP/TODO query (I think this is standard binding).

Can you give an MWE for the sparse tree approach?  Maybe I can then modify my
capture template appropriately.

Cheers,

Loris
