Subject: Converting tags to TODO states
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 17:00:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mukrwbxu.fsf@pc-117-162.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> (raw)

Hi,

For my GTD implementation with org-mode, I have been using the :next:
tag for my next actions. I would like now to use a "NEXT" TODO keyword,
which means that I need to convert all :next: tags with "TODO" headlines
into "NEXT" headlines without the :next: tag. 

I have *a lot* of org files, so an automatic procedure is needed. Since
I am not fluent in elisp, I was going to write a python script to do
this, but maybe there is already a way to do this conversion with
org-mode itself?

The tricky thing I see with parsing is dealing with the ":" in the case
of multiple tags (I know how to do this in python, but I don't in
elisp).

Thanks for any hint you can provide.

Garjola
