BBDB: Print birthdates
| bbdb, emacsThis snippet goes through all the records in my Big Brother Database,
prints out birthdate and a link to the record, and then sorts the
results.
(defun sacha/bbdb-insert-birthdates () "Insert a list of birthdates, sorted by month. For best effect, dates should be of the form yyyy.mm.dd." (insert (with-temp-buffer (mapcar (lambda (rec) (when (bbdb-record-getprop rec 'birthdate) (insert (if (string-match "..\\...$" (bbdb-record-getprop rec 'birthdate)) (match-string 0 (bbdb-record-getprop rec 'birthdate)) (bbdb-record-getprop rec 'birthdate)) " | " (planner-make-link (concat "bbdb://" (planner-replace-regexp-in-string " " "." (bbdb-record-name rec))) (bbdb-record-name rec)) "\n"))) (bbdb-records)) (sort-lines nil (point-min) (point-max)) (buffer-string))) nil)
Random Emacs symbol: find-tag-noselect – Command: Find tag (in current tags table) whose name contains TAGNAME.
