Re: [Orgmode] org-agenda-custom-commands

Sorry, I was away for a couple of days.
Many thanks for your proposition which really works fine.
Still, would it be difficult to implement ``evaluating match before it
gets used''?
My user needs to define in his files a great number of
_multi-value_ property keys.    
He also requires for an occur-tree a horribly complicated regular
expression comprising a simple interactive character string.
I understand now that the latter could equally be accomplished with
the org-occur function the same way you've proposed for the
org-match-sparse-tree function, couldn't it?
Yes, it can! I've just tested the following function:
(defun my-occur (match)
  (interactive "s")
  (org-occur (concat "[:]" match "[:]"))) 
Great, it works.

But I still think it could be advantageous to do the whole lot within
the org-agenda-custom-commands variable if the match would be evaluated
before getting used.

Thank you very much indeed.
