How to use variables correctly in query statements？ #353

Closed iT-Boyer closed 1 year ago

iT-Boyer commented 1 year ago

I need to query related items by statement and then get the content. 

(setq test (org-ql-query
               :select '(org-get-entry)
               :from buffers-files
               :where '(and
                        (ancestors (heading "hello world"))
                        (heading "system")
                        )
        ))

Now I want to set the heading value dynamically, but I cannot query the result when the heading is set as a variable.

(setq itemTitle "hello world")
(setq test (org-ql-query
               :select '(org-get-entry)
               :from buffers-files
               :where '(and
                        (ancestors (heading itemTitle))
                        (heading "system")
                        )
        ))
