Thanks for your mail. I found a (not so quick but very dirty) way to do what
I want. Just to explain:
The first step was the management of distribution lists withhin emacs. In
the second step I wanted to make the distribution lists also available via
Web. What I did now is to use a combination of php, emacs batch mode and
agenda views, shellscript and perl:
In my index.php I call a shell script:
=
!-- ;-separated list of email addresses --
pre?php echo shell_exec(emacs-export-distribution-list.sh); ?/pre
emacs-export-distribution-list.sh
==
# Export Agenda View and write to file
emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda 1)' | sed '1d' | sed
'1d' distribution_list.txt
# Extract email adresses
perl -wne 'while(/[\w\.]+@[\w\.]+\w+/g){print $; }' distribution_list.txt
Emacs configuration
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
(quote ((1 Distribution List tags tag1+tag2
((org-agenda-prefix-format
'((tags . %-40:(km/get-properties) ; )))
(org-use-tag-inheritance nil))
And the function:
(defun km/get-properties ()
(concat
(org-entry-get (point) EMAIL)))
In emacs I could not find a way to extract only the email addresses in an
agenda view. So it was a good idea to use the following in the buffer as you
suggested:
#+NAME: list2csv
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var match=tag1+tag2
(mapconcat 'identity
(org-map-entries
'(org-entry-get (point) EMAIL)
match nil)
,)
#+END_SRC
But for the webpage I could use Perl to further process an agenda view. And
since I knew how to get an agenda view exported using emacs batch mode, this
was the hack I was looking for.
Perhaps not very professional, but it works. ;-)
Thanks again for your help!
Karl
Re: [O] How to export property values of agenda selection?
Hi, If I recall, you have a bunch of tagged headings with EMAIL properties, and you want to extract a comma-separated list of email addresses based on tag matching. I posted an example of one approach, using a Babel block to put results inline. I'm not quite clear on your use case / desired result now. Why do you want results through batch mode on the command line in order to embed them in a webpage? Embed how? Is this something you could perhaps do simply by exporting from Org to HTML? Yours, Christian Does anybody know how to get the results via Emacs batch mode on the command line? I'd like to embed the results in a webpage. The following is my starting point and of course terribly wrong and it doesn't work. It's hard for me to find documentation (that I understand). $ emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval (progn (find-file \~/test.org\) (org-babel-execute-src-block 'list2csv) (kill-buffer)) Thanks, Karl
