Hi all,
Bastien had advised me [1] to use
(setq org-map-continue-from (outline-next-heading))
in a function called by org-map-entries in order to map that function
across just the /children/ of the current entry (i.e., to exclude the
current `parent' entry itself). This works great, but I have now found
that it has a weird side-effect: it calls the function twice on the last
child.
For a simple example, suppose I write:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun get-export-filenames ()
(interactive)
(setq export-files '())
(progn
(org-map-entries
(lambda ()
(setq org-map-continue-from (outline-next-heading))
(let ((org-trust-scanner-tags t))
(push (org-entry-get (point) "EXPORT_FILE_NAME") export-files)))
nil 'tree)
(message export-files))) ; errors, but lets me see the list of collected
values
#+END_SRC
And I call this function from a buffer that looks like:
* Top
<point is here when I call get-export-filenames>
** One
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: one
:END:
** Two
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: two
:END:
** Three
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: three
:END:
** Four
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: four
:END:
Then the list that I get back (the value of export-files) looks like:
("four" "four" "three" "two" "one")
Whereas I would like it to be just:
("four" "three" "two" "one")
Can anyone see what I need to do to achieve that? [Apart from just using
(cdr export-files), I mean -- I'd like to know the /right/ way.] I'm
puzzled because outline-next-heading, if called interactively from the
last child, does indeed put point at the end of that child or at the
next (parent-level) heading, so it doesn't seem that the problem is that
it somehow loops back when there is no next child-level entry.
Many thanks if you catch something I've missed!
Best,
Richard
