Hello, I am able to successfully read the contents of "/Users/nate/personal/booktemp.txt" into a new remember-note.
(setq org-remember-templates '(("Book" ?b "\n* %^{Book Title} %t :READING: \n%[/Users/nate/personal/booktemp.txt]\n" "L:journal.org") )) Now, I'd like to be able to specify an environment variable like $HOME instead of /Users/nate. I'm a lisp beginner, and have tried something like (setq personal-home-dir (getenv "HOME")) (setq org-remember-templates '(("Book" ?b (concat "\n* %^{Book Title} %t :READING: \n%[" personal-home-dir "/personal/booktemp.txt]\n") "L:journal.org") )) but I keep getting "Wrong type argument char-or-string-p" errors. I'm guessing that the org-remember-templates function wants something other than a string, but I don't know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated.
