When the example file below is added to the agenda file list, and
I perform an agenda property search (C-c C-a m), I can't seem to
locate any CLOSED items if I use the date matching format, for
example these don't work...
CLOSED>="<2009-01-01>"
CLOSED="<2009-01-07>"
... but a regexp search like this...
CLOSED={2009}
... works fine. For DEADLINE, an exact date matches fails...
DEADLINE="<2009-01-28>"
... but an inequality match succeeds...
DEADLINE>="<2009-01-28>"
FWIW I'm using version 6.17b. Am I just using this format
incorrectly?
Thanks,
Bart

Am I just using this format incorrectly? My apologies. I recently installed 6.17b, but to the wrong lisp target directory (i.e. so I was effectively using an older version of the code, 6.12b I think). After installing it in the proper directory this works fine.

Even though, looking at your post, I am wondering if it would be useful to limit the comparison to "date-only" if the comparison value is a date without a time....... - Carsten > > > Bart > >>> Thanks, >>> Bart >>> -------- file start -------- >>> #+SEQ_TODO: NEXT WAITING | DONE >>> #+STARTUP: overview >>> * DONE Test1 >>> CLOSED: [2009-01-07 Wed 12:26] >>> * NEXT Test2 >>> DEADLINE: <2009-01-28 Wed> >>> * Test3 >>> -------- file end -------- >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Emacs-orgmode mailing list >>> Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. >>> Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org >>> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode >> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

For closed items I tend to use a timeline display, but was looking at using a range of dates instead when I noticed the problem. The only reason I tried a single date was to produce another data point after I noticed that the '>=' seemed to fail. Bart ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
