Hi list,
I wanted to know how to use the MATCH parameter in `org-map-entries'. I've
searched extensively, but was unable to find much useful information. Can
somebody please shed some lights on this?
Thanks,
York

Thank you very much Nick.
(info "(org) Using the mapping API") was the first doc I read which has
very little information on how to use the "match" parameter. (info "(org)
Matching tags and properties") does have a lot more detail though.

One more question: how do I map only the entries that has a specific
property
defined? The following code didn't work.
(org-map-entries
(lambda () (...))
"mytag+myproperty<>nil")
Thanks,

Try this instead:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-map-entries (lambda () (org-heading-components)) "myproperty<>\"\"")
#+END_SRC
Empty properties get returned as "" not nil I think.

Understood - I like to give more complete information for two reasons:
1) I don't know what you have seen already, so maybe I can save an
exchange or two on the list by being more complete - and if you
have seen it already, no harm done.
2) Perhaps I'm fooling myself, but I like to think that somebody down
the line is going to have the same question, and if gmane ever
comes back :-), they might be able to search the list and find the
information that they need without having to send an email to the
list (or even if they do, somebody might be around who remembers
and can do the search and reply with "See this message").
So no disparagement/offense meant at all, that is just my modus operandi.
Regards,

@Nick:
Thanks for the explanation, it's very kind of you!
@John:
You are right, this actually works. However, this will also exclude the
trees
whose property value is empty, for example, the following tree will be
excluded,
which will not be excluded if "myproperty<>nil" syntax works:
* Tree
:PROPERTIES:
:myproperty:
:END:
But there's probably no point to have such empty property after all. So you
approach is acceptable. Thanks!
Regards,
York
