Agenda file for the "following X days"

Agenda file for the "following X days"

Hi,

As a novice I was wondering if there is an easy way of creating an agenda file for a certain number of days starting from today. I know I can do some custom agenda commands if I do some study but I guess I am trying to free ride here.

Cheers,

And you get it, of course!

(setq org-agenda-ndays 35)

Where 35 is my number of days I like to look ahead.

Building on this, you can define a function like that:

(defun my-org-agenda ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((org-agenda-ndays 35))
    (org-agenda)))

Maybe you can just use the prefix key for your needs? 
C-u 5 C-c a a 
will create a 5 day agenda. It is left as an excercise for the reader to
create an 8 day agenda (or a 5-year plan, or any other use). :)

Or maybe you were looking for something else?
