Hi there,
I'm just getting started with org mode after having watched the google tech
talk. from my experiences so far, i think it is the tool i have been
waiting for a long time!
i've have transferred by entire huge nested todo list (which i was
previously managing in a local mediawiki) and that has been great. but am
now excited about being able to split up and recompile all my todos
automatically - so i can keep everything contextually organised.
I have my projects organised in directories and sub directories under two
projects directories, "~/work" and "~/home". i want to keep *.org lists in
each of these directories and have them automatically picked up by orgmode
when i hit C-ca. so i might have ~/work/bbc/todo.org and ~/home/garden/
todo.org
I found this post
http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg08945.html
so i presume that i need to use a regular expression in find-lisp-find-files
to create this list of files to feed to some variable like
org-agenda-files...
and have tried a million regex inspired expressions in my emacs config like:
(load-library "find-lisp")
(set org-agenda files (find-lisp-find-files "~" (rx seq(string-start (or
"work" "home") ".org" string-end))))
but it isn't working.
i'm kind of out of my depth with emacs (aquamacs actually - only have a few
days experience) and have never got to grips with regex! but also loving it
and would be grateful if someone could pull me out of this hole :)
Thanks,
Michael

I don't use org-mode like this myself but just did a quick minimal emacs
test and it seems to work fine. You can set org-agenda-files to the
directories you want to include in the agenda and all files matching the
org-agenda-file-regexp will be included in the agenda.

no space here. It should be org-agenda-files

Here's my test setup -- I just added the directories to org-agenda-files:
I just created files in /tmp/play/ /tmp/work/ and /tmp/foo and added
some tasks to some of these just to see if they show up in the agenda
(and they did).
,----[ My test directory layout ]

yes it was. thanks, bernt, that was fantastic and helped me out of a big
hole (that i dug for myself :)
I decided to build a little hill to stand on next to the hole by adding the
following two lines
(setq org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files "~/Documents/Projects/Current"
(rx (seq ".org" string-end))))
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-files "~/Documents")
which dynamically fills my todo with all files from any subdirectory in
projects and then adds todo files from my Documents directory and I can add
other directories when the I feel like it. I guess I could try and rewrite
that as one big regex, but life is short.
thanks again!
