need help with lisp for export function regarding timestamps

need help with lisp for export function regarding timestamps

[Arun Persaud]

Hi

trying to get the export to ics working using

org-icalendar-verify-function

and

org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files

At the moment I'm using the following as a verify function:

(defun mycal-export ()
  (setq mycategory (org-get-category))
  (setq myrepeat (org-get-repeat))
  (and (not (member mycategory org-export-exclude-category))
       (eval myrepeat))))

which excludes categories listed in org-export-exclude-category and also
only export repeated items at the moment. I would like to add items that
have a start and an end date, that is something like

SCHEDULED: <date1 day1 time1>--<date2 day2 time2>

but I can't figure out how to check for these? Do I need to write my own
reg-exp for this and test the whole entry or is there some org internal
function for this? I only found org-get-scheduled-time, but that does
only seem to return the first timestamp?

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Arun

I'm afraid you need to write your own regexp...

Having said that, emacs has a number of regexp building utilities that
can help you. An inbuilt one M-x regexp-builder or the external library
regex-tool.el, which can be found at
https://github.com/jwiegley/regex-tool.git

thanks for the answer. Played around with it and got it working now.
Will post it in Worg under google sync after I cleaned it up a bit.
