* org-capture, datetree, and tags

I'm trying to capture into a datetree using org-capture, but if my tree has a tag on it (in particular noexport), then it creates a new datetree instead of using the one I have.
Example .emacs:
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(setq org-capture-templates
	'(("t" "Test" plain (file+datetree "~/Test.org")
		"%^{Greeting} World
I'm going to work this time")))

Example Test.org:

* 2013								   :noexport:
** 2013-02 February
*** 2013-02-19 Tuesday
Hello World
I'm going to work this time

So, based on the above, if I type C-cct Silly C-cc, I'll get this:

* 2013								   :noexport:
** 2013-02 February
*** 2013-02-19 Tuesday
Hello World
I'm going to work this time
* 2013
** 2013-02 February
*** 2013-02-19 Tuesday
Silly World
I'm going to work this time

Thanks for your attention,

I can confirm both the behavior and a usecase for a tagged datetree.  

In org-datetree.el the function org-datetree-find-year-create searches for
the year on a headline and will not match content with anything beyond the
fourth digit.
: (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:   (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)$")
: 	match)

In this particular case the tag in question is :noexport: with white space
fore (and maybe aft), and the following change to the regular expression
was tested with success.
: (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:   (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t]+:noexport:[ \t]*$")
: 	match)
Of course this only matches the specific tag in this example *and* only
matches a datetree with this tag. The regular expression needs to be
improved to include a valid tag set as optional.

I have verified that this still occurs under latest (7.9.3e-920-gce79e pulled 5:50am EST) with emacs 24.1.1 (Ubuntu packaged).  Are my expectations wrong that it should be inserting into the original tree, and there is perhaps another way to tag a heirarchy to not be exported that I should be using?  If this is a bug, is there additional information I need to supply to assist in the debugging?  Am I asking in the right place?

Thanks for your attention,
 Jeffrey McBeth

Improved the regular expression to permit multiple tags of letters,
numbers, underscores, and at signs.
:  (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:    (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t]*\\(:[[:alnum:]_@]*\\)*:*[ \t]*$")
:          match)
I've tested with the following headlines:
 - 2013
   - both with and without trailing spaces
 - 2013 :abc:
 - 2013 :abc123:
 - 2013 :abc123:_underscore:@attaboy::
 - 2013 :noexport:

Any comments on the regular expression are welcome before I make patch.

Thanks for working on fixing this.

The more or less standard regexp for tags-till-end-of-line is this:

   :[[:alnum:]_@#%:]*[ \t]*$
                    ^

With * if you want to match headlines with no tag.

Please have a look at this page before submitting a patch:

I may have misapplied what you suggested, but the new regexp (see below)
does not work on a year headline without tags.
:  (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:    (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)[ \t]*\\(:[[:alnum:]_@#%:]*[ \t]*$\\)")
:          match)
However, the suggestion helped me find the following in org-todo-line-tags-regexp
     \\(.*?\\([ \t]:[[:alnum:]:_@#%]+:[ \t]*\\)?$\\)
Applying this regexp worked on a tag-free headline (both with and
without trailing spaces)
:  (defun org-datetree-find-year-create (year)
:    (let ((re "^\\*+[ \t]+\\([12][0-9][0-9][0-9]\\)\\(.*?\\([ \t]:[[:alnum:]:_@#%]+:[ \t]*\\)?$\\)")
:          match)

I have just submitted a patch.  It is marked with TINYCHANGE so that it
can be processed before the assignment paperwork (which I just began
today) is complete.

Good day,
Tim
