Hi Bastien,

I found a third problem of org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp, it does not work
well on daily/weekly agenda view.  Basically it chokes on lines that is not
a regular headline, like date labels, dairy entries and grid lines.

So to show I am not merely a leech on this list, I come up with my version
here, most of the ugly code are to deal with the way org-agenda-bulk-mark
works now (e.g., returning nil when successful):

(defun org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp
(regexp)

  "Mark entries match
REGEXP."

  (interactive "sMark entries matching regexp:
")


(save-excursion

      (goto-char
(point-min))

      (let ((entries-marked
0))

        (while (not
(eobp))

          (unless
(and

                   (not (get-char-property (point)
'invisible))

                   (not (org-get-at-bol
'org-agenda-diary-link))

                   (org-get-at-bol
'org-hd-marker)

                   (let
(txt-property)

                     (setq txt-property (get-char-property (point)
'txt))

                     (string-match regexp
txt-property))

                   (not (call-interactively
'org-agenda-bulk-mark))

                   (setq entries-marked (+ entries-marked
1)))

            (beginning-of-line
2)))

        (if (zerop
entries-marked)

            (message "No entry matching this
regexp.")

          (message "%d entries marked for bulk action" entries-marked)))))

Thanks,
Net
