Hi

I have a convention in my org file which uses @name as a gtd-type
'agenda' item, so if an action is related to Liz, I tag it with @liz for
example. 

Is there any way of matching that '@' in setting up a custom agenda
view? I'd like if possible to have a block agenda view which lists all
of my @liz, @bob, @joe - type items in one view, rather than having to
maintain a list of all the possible names in the block agenda setup.

Thanks
Paul

You can do regexp matching on tags.  My agenda tags all start with ag_
(for people), agM_ (meetings) or agC_ (calls).

This snippet from my org-agenda-custom-commands shows how to use this:

    (tags "{^ag[MC]_.*}-maybe-TODO=\"\"-SCHEDULED>\"<today>\""
          ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Agendas (regular):")
           (org-agenda-sorting-strategy
            '(tag-up))
           (org-agenda-skip-function
            '(org-agenda-skip-subtree-if 'regexp "^\\*+ \\(DONE\\|CANC\\|CONT\\|PROJ\\|MAYBE\\) "))))
    (tags "{^ag_.*}-maybe-TODO=\"\"-SCHEDULED>\"<today>\""
          ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Agendas (non-regular):")
           (org-agenda-sorting-strategy
            '(tag-up))
           (org-agenda-skip-function
            '(org-agenda-skip-subtree-if 'regexp "^\\*+ \\(DONE\\|CANC\\|CONT\\|PROJ\\|MAYBE\\) "))))

Cheers,
Martin

Thanks Martin, this has been very useful - I didn't know about the
regexp thing, I'm sure I'm going to use it elsewhere!
