Every time I think I'm starting to learn org Mode, I find I'm actually
really ignorant.
I want to write a simple function that inserts a timestamp at point for a
date one week after the previous timestamp. I'm sure it's very simple. But
I can't figure out how to do it.
i have this:
(defun mwp/one-week-later ()
"add a new timestamp a week later than the previous one"
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(let ((curpos (point)))
(re-search-backward "<[0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}" )
(let* ((previous-ts (org-element-context)))
(goto-char curpos)
(INSERT COPY OF PREVIOUS-TS) ;; obviously this is fake. But what to
replace it with?
(org-timestamp-change 7 'dat) )))
)
What's the real solution? Thank you,
Matt

Try this. You may want use <> intead of [], and you can see
org-re-timestamp for other options than all.
(defun insert-ts+7 ()
(interactive)
(insert
(concat "["
(save-excursion
(re-search-backward
(org-re-timestamp 'all))
(match-string 0)))
"]")
(org-timestamp-change 7 'day))

aka save-excursion. Also, you should limit your search to the current
heading.

org-ts-regexp or maybe org-ts-regexp-both.

(save-excursion (insert (org-element-interpret-data previous-ts))
(org-timestamp-change 7 'day))

You need to use ’day.
You probably don’t need org-element in this case, but then again why
not...
