Hi, all
I want to empty all my contents but leave only with the headlines and the
properties, is there a fast way?


Cheers,
gylns

Make backup copies before you try this....

For one file:

  perl -ne 'print if /^\*+ / or /^\s*:PROPERTIES:\s*$/../^\s*:END:\s*$/' old.org > stripped.org


For a bunch of files, with .bak backup copies


  perl -ni.bak -e 'print if /^\*+ / or /^\s*:PROPERTIES:\s*$/../^\s*:END:\s*$/' *.org

Hmm... perl.

Within emacs, that would be something like

C-<
M-x keep-lines RET
^\*\|:PROPERTIES:\(.\|\n\)+?:END:
(\n via "C-q C-j")

...

right?
