I think I've found three possible solutions to this, but none appear to work, probably due to implementation issues.

1) =org-agenda-entry-text-exclude-regexps= should remove lines matching a regex. I tried using it like this:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(
    ("e" "Event List"
      (
        (agenda "" (
    (org-agenda-overriding-header "Events")
    (org-agenda-show-all-dates t)
    (org-agenda-ndays 30)
    (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'nottodo '("EVENT") 'done))
    (org-agenda-entry-text-exclude-regexps '("Scheduled:"))
))))))


2) =org-agenda-entry-text-cleanup-hook= OR =org-agenda-text-cleanup-hook=. I've tried using them like this:

(defun kdm/org-agenda-event-no-schedule ()
  (delete-matching-lines "Scheduled:" (beginning-of-buffer) (end-of-buffer)))
(add-hook 'org-agenda-entry-text-cleanup-hook 'kdm/org-agenda-event-no-schedule)
(add-hook 'org-agenda-text-cleanup-hook 'kdm/org-agenda-event-no-schedule)

But again, I don't see any effects from this.

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong with these three approaches, or if there is some other way to filter lines or remove SCHEDULED items (but not timestamped items) from an Agenda view?

Thanks,

  -k.
