Hi Bastien,
I'm having two problems with the % command (org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp) in
Org-mode agenda view.
1. If I use "." as the search string, I get "Wrong type argument:
number-or-marker-p, nil". And my workaround is to change the line "(let
(entries-marked)" in org-agenda.el to "(let ((entries-marked 0))".
2. If I use ".*" as the search string, I get "Wrong type argument: stringp,
nil". After some edebugging, I found the reason is that in
org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp, re-search-forward moved the point to the end of
the line (since ".*" matches the whole line), causing (get-text-property
(point) 'txt) to return nil, in turn caused string-match to throw the
error. I think this may happen to other regexps, as long as the strings
matched include the last character in the line. I'm new to Emacs Lisp so
I'm not sure how to fix this one.
Wondering why it seems only me having these two problems.
I am using MacPorts' Emacs and Org-mode:
Emacs : GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0)
Package: Org-mode version 7.7
Thanks,
Net

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

Sorry, didn't realized I wasn't sending email in plain text.
