search for dates as tag or property

search for dates as tag or property

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

I would like to include the date in my property/tags search ...
E.g. one entry looks like this:

*** KONVERGIERT <2007-09-07 Fri>Klimakruemmer 2 /  FLUENT
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Bauteil:Klimakruemmer
   :END:

Is it possible to do a search, which looks for the property
'Bauteil' and for the month corresponding to the time stamp
of the entry, i.e. September?
The property search is no problem, but I couldn't find any
special syntax for the 'time stamps' search!?
Would be nice, if that works ...

Greetings!
Fabian

Maybe something along this:

(org-add-agenda-custom-command
 '("d" tags "Bauteil={.+}"
   ((org-agenda-skip-function 
     '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp
     "[0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}")))))

You cannot inherit a timestamp (or scheduled/deadline value) for now.
If you are using the date not only for getting this entry displayed at
the right place in the agenda view, maybe you could add a "Month"
property?  Then you can use it for searches like any other property.

Why not... but the agenda view is already a way to "search" for entries,
no?

Fabian,

this will be possible in 5.15.

Hi to you both,

Works great! Thanks! The  simulation data management system
gets better and better :-)
For the update of my links I use a small python, which does
the update manually without a hook; though just for the main
simulation directory link... the next step will be the
automatic insertion for the properties.
Is there a function which puts all links of the current tree
in a kill-ring, which I could use for an external python script?

BTW: The small tutorial will follow a bit later :-)

Maybe this:

(defun my-collect-links-in-subtree ()
  "Return a list containing all links in current subtree."
  (interactive)
  (let (list end)
    (save-excursion
      (org-back-to-heading)
      (setq end (save-excursion 
		  (outline-forward-same-level 1) (point)))
      (while (re-search-forward org-any-link-re end t)
	(add-to-list 'list (match-string-no-properties 0))))
    list))

Then:

(setq your-list-of-links (my-collect-links-in-subtree))

will store the list of links for the current subtre...  I think there is
no need for this in Org itself, though.
