Here’s an easy EmacsGolf challenge that came up today. I have an org file in which some of the headings have a check mark (✓) at the beginning of the heading (but after the stars). The file is quite long and I want to count how many check marks there are in the file.
For clarity, the file looks something like this
* Level 1.1 ** ✓ Level 2.1 blah blah blah ** Level 2.2 blah blah blah * Level 1.2 ** Level 2.1 blah blah blah * Level 1.3 ** ✓ Level 2.1 blah blah blah ** Level 2.2 blah blah blah ** ✓ level 2.3 blah blah blah ...
Here are the rules:
- There are no check marks in the body of the text, only at the beginning of some headers.
- You may assume that there’s an abbreviation,
cb
, for ✓.
The challenge is to find the total number of check marks in as few a number of keystrokes as possible.
