Hi Bastien,
I found a third problem of org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp, it does not work
well on daily/weekly agenda view. Basically it chokes on lines that is not
a regular headline, like date labels, dairy entries and grid lines.
So to show I am not merely a leech on this list, I come up with my version
here, most of the ugly code are to deal with the way org-agenda-bulk-mark
works now (e.g., returning nil when successful):
(defun org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp
(regexp)
"Mark entries match
REGEXP."
(interactive "sMark entries matching regexp:
")
(save-excursion
(goto-char
(point-min))
(let ((entries-marked
0))
(while (not
(eobp))
(unless
(and
(not (get-char-property (point)
'invisible))
(not (org-get-at-bol
'org-agenda-diary-link))
(org-get-at-bol
'org-hd-marker)
(let
(txt-property)
(setq txt-property (get-char-property (point)
'txt))
(string-match regexp
txt-property))
(not (call-interactively
'org-agenda-bulk-mark))
(setq entries-marked (+ entries-marked
1)))
(beginning-of-line
2)))
(if (zerop
entries-marked)
(message "No entry matching this
regexp.")
(message "%d entries marked for bulk action" entries-marked)))))
Thanks,
Net
