Try this function on the scheduled timestamp: ,---- | (defun bzg-duration-of-timestamp-at-point () | "Compute the duration of the timestamp at point." | (interactive) | (save-excursion | (forward-line 0) | (when (re-search-forward "\\<SCHEDULED: *<\\([^>]+\\) \\([0-9]+:[0-9]+\\)--?\\([0-9]+:[0-9]+\\)>" nil t) | (let ((date (match-string 1)) | (t1 (match-string 2)) | (t2 (match-string 3))) | (- (org-time-string-to-seconds (concat date " " t2)) | (org-time-string-to-seconds (concat date " " t1))))))) `---- HTH, -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
