Minning Org-files

Minning Org-files

[Doyley, Marvin M.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 441 bytes --]

Hi there,

I have a huge org-file with notes I have taken on various topics (my commonplace org file). Is there an easy way to grab all the entires with a given tag or keyword to a new org-file ?

Thanks,
M

You can do something like this:

By TODO keyword to grab the DONE entries.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((entries (org-map-entries
                (lambda ()
                  (save-restriction
                    (org-narrow-to-subtree)
                    (buffer-string)))
                "TODO=\"DONE\"")))
  (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "new"))
  (org-mode)
  (mapcar 'insert entries))
#+END_SRC

Is there anyway of making the search term a variable ?

sure, if you make an interactive function that takes a search argument.
Something like this

(defun some-name (search-arg)
 (interactive "sQuery: ")
 ; insert code below and change "TODO=\"DONE\"" to search-arg
 )

Awesome,

I really appreciate this. I must teach myself how to code in lisp :)
