Re: exporting all org files to txt periodically

["Eric Schulte" <schulte.eric@gmail.com>]

Since Org-mode files are plain text, I don't think you would need to
export them at all, rather I would imagine an easier solution would be
to either

1. teach the search engine that .org means .txt

2. symlink all of your .org files to .txt file, e.g. on a linux, unix,
   OSX system the following shell script will create a .txt symlink for
   each .org file in the current directory
   #+begin_src sh
     for i in `ls --color=never *.org`;do
         ln -s $i `basename $i .org`.txt
     done
   #+end_src

Cheers -- Eric
