Re: [O] Function that splits a CLOCK interval
Hi Peter, Peter Frings on 2015-04-01 12:37: The following function now automates the task of splitting: … Fantastic, just what I needed! thanks for your feedback! I have now made a few improvements but not yet found time to get started with contributing the code to Worg, so one more email with the improvements. One little thing, though. When I interrupt the function with C-g at the prompt, the current line is already duplicated. It would by nice that C-g left the buffer unchanged. Done, see code below. Plus, the function now accepts a prefix argument and works with active time stamps. When a prefix argument is given, the interactive editing of the timestamp uses C as a default before changing A--C into A--B B--C.

[O] Function that splits a CLOCK interval
Dear org-mode community, I use org's clocking facility to clock all my working time. I frequently find myself clocking time for a task T1, but later realise that I actually spent part of this time on some other task T2. In such a situation I go to the corresponding CLOCK: line for T1, split the interval clocked, e.g. from CLOCK: [2015-03-30 Mon 16:27]--[2015-03-30 Mon 16:30] => 0:03 to CLOCK: [2015-03-30 Mon 16:28]--[2015-03-30 Mon 16:30] => 0:02 CLOCK: [2015-03-30 Mon 16:27]--[2015-03-30 Mon 16:28] => 0:01 and move one of the two lines to the LOGBOOK of task T2. The following function now automates the task of splitting: --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- %< --- (defun org-clock-split-current-interval () "If this is a CLOCK line, split its clock time interval into two. t the current time interval be A--C; then this function interactively prompts for a time B (suggesting A as a default), and then replaces A--C by B--C and A--B. The point is left on the line B--C, so that this line can, e.g., be moved to another entry."
