Filter depending on item level

Filter depending on item level

Hi guys,

Is there a way to filter the agenda based on the level of the item. For
example, let's say I have several items tagged as projects, but I would
like to get a list of projects that are 1st or 2nd-level items in my org
files, like:

* This would appear :project:
  * This would also :project:
    * This would not appear :project:

Is there an easy way to do this currently?

Thanks,

- Marcelo.

Try the special LEVEL search property, documented in the "Matching tags
and properties" section of the manual.

I'm not yet expert in search-fu, but IIRC (from reading the excellent page of
Matt on advanced search, see Worg) you can construct a quite easy regexp with
the `*' symbol to represent your levels.

You'd have a search regexp in the following spirit:

    ^*{1,2} .* :project:

You need to escape some of the above symbols, though...

Please post, afterward, the regexp that worked for you.

Best regards,

If you mean "filtering the agenda view" (like `/' does tag filtering)
there is no way to filter by entry level for now.

HTH,
