Hello,
I’m looking to set up a search string using the FILE special property, but cannot get the syntax right. This is as part of setting up org-stuck-projects.
If the file is in ~/todos/myTodos.org, and I want all the entries with heading 1, will
(setq org-stuck-projects
‘(“+FILE="~/todos/myTodos.org"+LEVEL=1" ("NEXT" "TODO") nil "”))
work, or am I missing quotes there?
Thanks!

I have never used this feature, but this first element look odd to
me. I would try this: “+FILE=\"~/todos/myTodos.org\"+LEVEL=1".
HTH,

Thanks for your help, Alex.
The backslashes do get the string to evaluate correctly (now the value of org-stuck-projects is indeed set to what you’d think it would be set to, where the first element is a string), but this does not yield the right output — C-c # still yields no output, and I do know there are projects I define as unfinished in the relevant file.
When I crop out the +FILE=… part of the string, I get the output I’m expecting, so I’m pretty sure my problem is with the syntax of the FILE selector.
Thanks!

~ is bash syntax. Try replacing it with the full path of your home
directory.
