Hi,
In my org-agenda-custom-commands I've got two block entries:
tags-todo "office&(project|task)"
and
tags-todo "home&(project|task)"
Items with :office:project: and :home:project: are separated properly,
but :office:task: and :home:task: end up in both lists.
What should the correct syntax be and where is it described?
Thanks
Loris

Can you send a test file, with actual results and expected results?
I _guess_ the problem you have, but I'd like to see/test it.

Did you look in the manual? What is missing?
Thanks!

Test file:
* Tasks :task:
** TODO Mow lawn :home:
** TODO Install R :office:
* Projects :project:
** TODO Set up cluster :office:
** TODO Sort out backup :home:
Actual Results:
============================================================================
Office
agendatest: TODO Mow lawn :task::home:
agendatest: TODO Install R :task::office:
agendatest: TODO Set up cluster :project::office:
============================================================================
Home TODOs
agendatest: TODO Mow lawn :task::home:
agendatest: TODO Install R :task::office:
agendatest: TODO Sort out backup :project::home:
Expected Results:
============================================================================
Office
agendatest: TODO Install R :task::office:
agendatest: TODO Set up cluster :project::office:
============================================================================
Home TODOs
agendatest: TODO Mow lawn :task::home:
agendatest: TODO Sort out backup :project::home:
I hope this is complete. I don't quite know what the best way to test
something like this is without disturbing my configuration too much.

I looked here
http://orgmode.org/manual/Block-agenda.html#Block-agenda
but there is no complex example with and-ing and or-ing tags.

Thank you for taking the time.

I see that I should also have looked here:

Thanks, I was just being a bit dopey. I had already woken up a bit and
come up with
(tags-todo "+office+CATEGORY=\"project\"|+office+CATEGORY=\"task\")
I think maybe I need to start a new thread some time about generally
approaches to using tags vs. categories. I am sure there must a few
fairly standard idioms that people are using.
Cheers
