I 'd like to parse the weekly Agenda (C-c a a) to show only those items that meet the specified criteria (eg, certain tags, todo-tags, or properties). The advantage is that that shows the relevant items, will complete details of dates, etc. Its sort of running a grep on the weekly Agenda output. Any ideas are appreciated. Have you seen http://orgmode.org/worg/org-customization-survey.php ? Check out Matthew Lundin's agenda customizations in particular. It the awesomest use of agenda customization that I have ever seen. -- Manish ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

In your example, I think you'd say something like this (untested): C-c a m +CATEGORY=Computer RET BTW, there are many built-in agenda views - you seem to be doing C-c a a which gives you the current week/day agenda view. But if you stop after C-c a, you'll be at the agenda dispatcher, which shows you a list of agenda views. E.g., the a key in the dispatcher gives you the weekly agenda view, the m key lets you match tags and properties etc. See http://orgmode.org/manual/Built_002din-agenda-views.html#Built_002din-agenda-views for more details. You can even add custom agenda views: http://orgmode.org/manual/Custom-agenda-views.html#Custom-agenda-views HTH, Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
