Hi List,
I tried out `org-map-entries' with this file
,------------------------------------------------
| * my todos
| ** TODO get things done
| ** TODO take care of things
| ** DONE procrastinate when tasks are unpleasant
| ** DONE delegate really unpleasant tasks
`------------------------------------------------
with an example similar to the one in "Appendix A: Hacking" in the Org
manual
,--------------------------------------
| M: (length (org-map-entries t "\+Done"))
`--------------------------------------
but result is '0' while it should be '2'.
I debugged the function and it seems that the matcher does not match.
These are my todo keywords
,----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Result: "...\\(TODO\\|NEXT\\|DONE\\|WAITING\\|HOLD\\|CANCELLED\\|PHONE\\)...
`----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and this is the matcher
,----------------------------------------------------------------------
| (and (progn (setq org-cached-props nil) (member "DONE" tags-list)) t)
`----------------------------------------------------------------------
as evaluated on line line 13863 of org.el.
Wrong use of `org-map-entries' or is there a bug?

cheers,
Thorsten

sorry, I actually used DONE not Done, but result is still '0' while it
should be '2'.

Try
(org-map-entries t "/+DONE" nil)
Note the slash.

One more question: what would be the syntax for matching a property? I
could not find a single example of this in the whole org-mode/lisp/
directory.
Imagine the doc looks like this:
,--------------------------------------------------------
| * my todos
| ** get things done
| :PROPERTIES:
| :author: My Name
| :END:
| ** take care of things
| ** procrastinate when tasks are unpleasant
| ** delegate really unpleasant tasks :repeat:
`--------------------------------------------------------
By trial-and-error I found out that tags match like this:
,--------------------------------------
| M: (length (org-map-entries t "repeat"))
`--------------------------------------
but for the property I get result 0 except with
,--------------------------------------
| M: (length (org-map-entries t "/*author"))
`--------------------------------------
or
,--------------------------------------
| M: (length (org-map-entries t "/-author"))
`--------------------------------------
which return 5.
Whats the syntax in this case?

Use the docs, Luke!
(info "(org) Matching tags and properties")

There probably should be a link from the "Using the mapping API" section
to the "Matching tags and properties" section. I thought there was one,
but I just checked and didn't see it.

Ah, great, thanks again, thats what I needed. Did not realize that there
is another section about this topic, I thought Appendix A and the source
code is the only info available.
