Hi list-members
Today, I configured org-feed to catch RSS feeds from RTM. For
Appointments I wrote a template that was intended to convert
RTM-schedules to org timestamps (i.e. the date of the appointment).
:template "* APPT %title\n %T"
This doesn't work, because what is converted by %T is not the schedule
but the creation date of the RTM-entry.
Has anybody solved this problem?
Greetings,
Sven

Hi Sven,
how is the appointment time visible in the RTM stream? Are they using
a special tag for it or so?

They have a really weak management for dates. Everything that exceeds
the due-time by more than one week, is awkward to insert (especially on
a phone) and very buggy and unstable. Yes, they have a special tag
inside the stream, but in the meantime I think it's not worth worrying
how to grab and convert it.
Now, I solved the case by inserting a couple of digits directly into the
headline and change it with an org-feed-after-adding-hook:
,----RTM
|
| This is a date @@10030411:15-12:45
|
`----
It will be converted into:
,----Orgmode
|
| ** This is a date
| <2010-03-04 11:15-12:45>
|
`----
by this function:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun rtm-dateconvert ()
(interactive)
(beginning-of-buffer)
(while (re-search-forward "@@\\([0-9][0-9]\\)\\([0-9][0-9]\\)\\([0-9][0-9]\\)\\([0-9]*[0-9]+:[0-9][0-9]\\)\\([-]*[0-9]*[0-9]*[:]*[0-9]*[0-9]*\\)" nil t)
(replace-match "\n <20\\1-\\2-\\3 \\4\\5>" nil nil))
(save-buffer "mygtd.org"))
(add-hook 'org-feed-after-adding-hook 'rtm-dateconvert)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So far it works. But it's not very elegant to jump to the beginning of
the buffer in the first step. I couldn't find out how to restrict
re-search-forward to only the current line. If that is possible, one
could get rid of the necessity of the @@.
There are still some other problems in using RTM with org-feed. I will
start a new thread on them. If they can be solved, I can absolutely
recommend RTM for orgmode users who own an Android phone (there is a RTM
app in the Market), especially since Reqall is not yet available in most
parts of Europe and OrgMobile for Android is not yet fully usable.
Greetings,
Sven

This is a good solution! I think one could to a lot more smart
reading in this way....

Why only the current line? Are you sure that you are not dealing with
a multi-line text?
Anyway, yes you can:
(goto-char (point-at-bol))
(looking-at ".*?AndThenYourRegexpHere")
