Hi Hsiu,

nice hack.  But I am still wondering why you do not

C-c a m project1|project2 RET


I couldn't get such a search to work with a daily/weekly/monthly  
agenda view.
I was trying to restrict the weekly (say) agenda view to just two  
projects
(identified by tags), which seems like a nice view for scheduling  
tasks.  I
would love a simple way to do this.  If different projects were in  
different
files, then one can modify org-agenda-files temporarily to achieve  
this, but my

projects are not always cleanly separated that way.


Yes, you are right, for the agenda this cannot be achieved,
except for constructing your own org-agenda-skip-function.

No.

Here's a workaround.  I use org-map-entries to select all headlines  
directly
tagged with project1 or project2 and tag them with something  
unique, say
CUR.  Then I can use the ordinary filter mechanism in an agenda  
view to

restrict to headlines tagged with CUR.

,
| (setq cur_tags '(project1 project2))
|
| ;; Unbind the variable
| ;; (makunbound 'cur_tags)
|
| (setq match_string (concat +TAGS={ (mapconcat (lambda (x) x)
|   cur_tags \|) }))
|
| ;; Remove the CUR tag:
| (org-map-entries '(org-toggle-tag CUR) CUR 'agenda)
|
| ;; Turn on the CUR tag for all headlines (directly) tagged with
| ;; any member of cur_tags
| (org-map-entries '(org-toggle-tag CUR 'on) match_string 'agenda)
|
| ;; Count the number of headlines (directly) tagged with any member  
of

| ;; cur_tags:
| (length (org-map-entries t match_string 'agenda))
`

Maybe someone will find this useful, or think of a more elegant  
solution.

I am trying to look at my weekly agenda, restricted to two  
particular projects

that are identified using tags.

I tried defining a custom agenda view with a org-agenda-skip- 
function defined
to match :project1: or :project2:, but this doesn't work with  
inherited

tags.
