export to txt files

export to txt files

[Dimitris Kapetanakis]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 565 bytes --]

Hello All,
I wanted to ask if there is a way to export an org file as individual txt
files depending on level 1 hierarchy. For example if you have a file like

* Projects
    bla bla text etcetc

* Procedures
  bla bla text etcetc

to output two files projects.txt which contains bla bla text etcetc and
another procedures.txt with its text.

I think it would be useful for blogs and other applications, and looking at
export functions like ascii or latex, it could certainly be done but I am
not so fluent in emacs lisp to do it myself. Any help welcome.
Dimitris

Just mark a region and press

C-c C-e RET a RET

will export the region as ascii (I use the git head).

Sebastian

10 points to someone who can do this with just a keyboard macro. 15 if
you can make sure the heading is filesystem safe :)

Cheers,

  Mmmm... I wrote a program which can do this:
  http://www.danielclemente.com/dislines/index.en.html

  however it's not LISP.
  I have written multilingual org files this way, but it's not comfortable since it requires several programs and processing phases. I am still looking for a solution in Emacs LISP, and if possible, one which integrates nicely with org-mode :-)

Hm, I guess I sent this only to Dimitri... I'm resending it to the list..

This seems to do what you want.

(defun org-export-top-levels ()
 (interactive)
 (goto-char (point-min))
 (let (start (point))
       (while (re-search-forward "^* " nil t)
         (write-region start (point-at-bol) (concat (org-get-heading) ".txt"))
         (setq start (point-at-bol)))))

Regards,
Hugo

THANKS EVERYBODY

I was looking at something like Hugo's response. It is a click away since it
saves under a "heading.txt" the next heading's text. I am trying to take a
look at it with my poor knowledge of Lisp.

I think I did it!!!

just make a backward search

Check the following

(defun org-export-top-levels ()
 (interactive)
 (goto-char (point-max))
 (let (start (point))
       (while (re-search-backward "^* " nil t)
         (write-region start (point-at-bol) (concat (org-get-heading)
".txt"))
         (setq start (point-at-bol)))))
