[Orgmode] Re: org-mode and remind integration

[Daniel Martins]

I did your test wuth a null regexp

It is a regexp problem!



Org-mode has two variables: org-deadline-string and org-scheduled-string (see below) 

and I want to match tasks which have a timestamp, ie satisfies the org-ts-regexp2

BUT DO NOT  have org-deadline-string NOR org-scheduled-string

I tried 


    (org2rem-pure-timestamps-string
          (concat  "\\(" org-deadline-string "\\|"
               org-scheduled-string  "\\)\\{0\\}"))


in order that a regexp such as 

"\\(org-deadline-string\\|org-scheduled-string\\)\\{0\\}"

would match only zero {0} occurrences of (org-deadline-string|org-scheduled-string)
but this seems to be a mistake.

Any hint??

Daniel





--- Details ---

org-deadline-string is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is "DEADLINE:"


org-scheduled-string is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is "SCHEDULED:"


org-ts-regexp2 is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is 
"<\\(\\([0-9]\\{4\\}\\)-\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\)-\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\) +\\([^]-+0-9>
\n ]*\\)\\( \\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\):\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\)\\)?\\)[^>\n]\\{0,16\\}>"

With time, it'll get better.

I don't think, this is a question of a local variable vs. inlining the
regexp. It's more a matter of an appropriate regular _expression_. Did
you try an empty string instead?

e.g.: (org2rem-pure-timestamps-reminders (org2rem-list-reminders ""))

Or did I miss your problem completely?
