Hi Jean,
Thank you - however, I can't get this function to return anything.
org-scan-tags accepts an action, a matcher and a todo-only.
Code:
(org-scan-tags 'agenda ;; Action
'(staff lambda (todo tags-list level) ;; Matcher
(progn
(setq org-cached-props nil)
(or (and (member staff tags-list)))))
;; End Matcher
org--matcher-tags-todo-only) ;; Todo-only
* To my knowledge, the 'agenda is the action, and the list starting with
`(staff <snip>) is the matcher.
* Why does the tag I'm searching for ("staff") appear as the first "atom"
in the
"matcher" parameter? Why isn't it just a lambda?
* I don't quite understand what the "or" and "and" are doing. It seems like
I don't need either of them.
My org-agenda-files contains files and I have a headline with the tag
"staff"
- no quotes, and the function's not returning anything.
Thanks,
--Nate
