Re: [O] How to view everything DONE today?

[John Kitchin]

I am not sure how to do this through the agenda, but here is a way to
find headlines in the current file that were closed today. You could
wrap this in a loop over the files in your agenda list. It is a little
clumsy on the time comparisons but it works ;)

* Getting items done today

** DONE item 1
   CLOSED: [2014-11-26 Wed 13:09] DEADLINE: <2014-11-26 Wed>



** DONE item 2
   CLOSED: [2014-11-25 Tue 13:09] DEADLINE: <2014-11-26 Wed>


** Mapping entries to find what closed today.

First, we look at a timestamp comparison function. 
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-time= "<2014-11-26 Wed>" "<2014-11-26 Wed>")
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: t

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-map-entries
  (lambda ()
    (let* ((closed (org-entry-get (point) "CLOSED"))
           (today (format-time-string "<%Y-%m-%d>")))
      (when closed
        (when
            (org-time=
             today
             (let ((parts (org-parse-time-string closed)))
               (format "<%s-%s-%s>"
                       (nth 5 parts) ; year
                       (nth 4 parts) ; month
                       (nth 3 parts) ; day
                       )))
          (message-box "Found a closed task: %s"
                       (org-heading-components)))))))
 
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| nil | Found a closed task: (2 2 DONE nil item 1 nil) | nil | nil |
