Hi all

so i have pathetic coding skill = but managed somehow to come up with this

=C2= =A0(defun z/save-meeting-to-ics ()
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 "If the cur= rent file is in '~/.dotfiles', the code blocks are tangled"
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (when (equal (buffer-file-name)
=C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0(expand-file-name "= ;/home/zeltak/org/files/agenda/meetings.org= "))
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (org-icalendar-export-to-ics)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (message "exported to ics")))
=

this does save the org file "meetings.org" to an ICS file in the same folder a= s the file. but i want to do 2 additional things:
1)save the resu= lting ICS file to a different directory
2)run this function every= X hours (lets say every 2 hours)

any clue guys?

thx!

For 1), change:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (org-icalendar-export-to-ics)

to something like this:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (rename-file (org-icalendar-export-to-ics) your-preferred-pat= hname)

For 2), evaluate this:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (info "(elisp) Timers")

That _is_ what you want when you save meetings.org, but it _is not_ what you want when the timer executes.

Hi again all

so i have a related questi= on so ill continue in this thread. i have been using this command succesful= ly in the last few weeks

(defun z/export-to-i= cs ()
(interactive)
(rename-file (org-icalendar-export-= to-ics)
"/home/zeltak/org/files/export/kcal.ics")
=
(message "exported to ics"))

=
this forces me to first open the file i want (meetings.org) and then launch the above command. is t= here a way to auto make the above function to auto export meeting.org each time without opening it first?

thx

This means the code will only execute if the current buffer is
"= meetings.org" when it executes. That _is_ what you want when you s= ave
meetin= gs.org, but it _is not_ what you want when the timer executes.

Break out the body of the `when' form into its own function, and call that function from the timer, instead of `z/save-meeting-to-ics'.

For this, you need to add `z/save-meeting-to-ics' to the Emacs g= lobal
variable `after-save-hook' using function `add-hook'.

You mean 1800 seconds, I think.

I can't tell exactly what you have in mind. Can't = you just add (find-file "meetings.org<= /a>") to the function?

or wrap the whole thing like= this:


(defun z/export-to-ics ()
(interactive= )
(rename= -file (org-icalendar-export-to-ics)
&quo= t;/home/zeltak/org/files/export/kcal.ics")
(message "exported to ics")))

This means the code will only execute if the current buffer is
"= meetings.org" when it executes. That _is_ what you want when you s= ave
meetin= gs.org, but it _is not_ what you want when the timer executes.

Break out the body of the `when' form into its own function, and call that function from the timer, instead of `z/save-meeting-to-ics'.

For this, you need to add `z/save-meeting-to-ics' to the Emacs g= lobal
variable `after-save-hook' using function `add-hook'.

You mean 1800 seconds, I think.
