Subject:Got it! SUPER!
[I'm so excited by this I hope you will not mind if I write a more detailed account of the method?]
Exact method of collecting a list of entries containing a particular string/text.
——-
Step One
File->Write text file… or CTRL+W
Opens up a properties window

Step Two
In the text box labelled : “only output entries containing this text”
Write the text you wish Brainstorm to look for when outputing entries.

Step Three
At the bottom of the said properties window observe the checkbox labelled:
“Write to clipboard instead of file”
If not checked/market, do so.

Step Four
Press Ok. The property window closes.
Brainstorm searches for all entries containing the text you’ve specified in the, “only output entries containing this text” text box and copies such entries in to the windows clipboard.
Select an empty entry in your project and activate the past command: CTRL+V or Edit->Paste or Right-Click on an entry and from the pop-up menue choose paste.
-

Thanks for blogging about this!

You use the Write command with your tag in ‘only output entries containing this text’ and with the ‘Write to clipboard instead of file’ box checked.

Subject: Difficulty using solution to Jacks problem.

This is a very interesting blog entry. First there is the idea about tagging headings - which I’m assuming looks like : [A4/Now] Clean Car.
To use Jacks example.
Second is the idea that one can collect these headings based on the tag(or part of a tag) in to lists, automatically. I don’t quite understand the instruction for performing this step. I’m under the impression that one is supposed to write to the clipboard the tag name(or part of it) in quotes - when pasted this should produce a heading with a list containing all tasks/projects with a Now tag - for instance?

Thanks.
