I wanted to open a pdf at a particular page, the instructions under
org-file-apps suggested using
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.pdf::\\(\\d+\\)\\'" . "evince -p %1 %s"))
This doesn't work because the regular expression doesn't parse the link but
the path. Therefore the ::(\d+) part is not being matched.
I had to write my own version using both file and link but maybe there is a
better way -- or a more elegant solution than what I have below. Please
let me know.
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps
'("\\.pdf\\'" .
(lambda
(file link)
(let*
((mylink
(split-string link "::"))
(option
(>
(length mylink)
1))
(cmd
(concat "evince " file
(and option
(concat " -p "
(nth 1 mylink))))))
(message "Running %s...done" cmd)
(start-process-shell-command cmd nil cmd)))))

What is "\d+"? You may want to try [0-9]+ insteal.

Hi Nicolas,
For:
\\.pdf:\\([0-9]+\\)\\'
[0-9]+ vs \d+ same issue, since the path not the link is being matched.
Example:
file:foo.pdf::1 will be matching on file:foo.pdf and the ::1 is dropped.
Therefore it doesn't matter what you put after :: it is not being used.

You forgot a colon.

I cannot reproduce it here. The function
`org-file-apps-entry-match-against-dlink-p' is responsible for deciding
if a link needs to be matched in full, or not.

Hi Nicolas,
Sorry I mistyped in the message, I did have two colons when trying it out.
I will look into the
function you pointed out.
When you said you cannot reproduce it, does that mean it works/matches for
you?
I am using Emacs 25.3.5 and org-20180226
