Hello,

In commit 0260d2fcf603f30210e2b95d37727edd832c12e9 of 2021-04-26, the
regexp used in `org-agenda-prefix-format' was updated to use a
non-greedy regexp, in order to allow multiple %(expression) instances
in `org-agenda-prefix-format'. Unfortunately, this change breaks the
ability to use nested forms in %(expression) instances. For example, I
use the following setting for `org-agenda-prefix-format':

(setf (alist-get 'agenda org-agenda-prefix-format)
          "  %(format-time-string \"%a\" (org-get-deadline-time (point)))  ")

When running `org-agenda', I now receive the error
`org-compile-prefix-format: End of file during parsing'. This is
because of the updated regexp match, which stops at the first closing
parenthesis:

ELISP> myfmt
"  %(format-time-string \"%a\" (org-get-deadline-time (point)))  "
ELISP> (and (string-match "%\\(\\?\\)?\\([-+]?[0-9.]*\\)\\([
.;,:!?=|/<>]?\\)\\([cltseib]\\|(.+?)\\)" myfmt) (match-string 4
myfmt))
"(format-time-string \"%a\" (org-get-deadline-time (point)"

With the previous regexp, it works fine:

ELISP> (and (string-match "%\\(\\?\\)?\\([-+]?[0-9.]*\\)\\([
.;,:!?=|/<>]?\\)\\([cltseib]\\|(.+)\\)" myfmt) (match-string 4 myfmt))
"(format-time-string \"%a\" (org-get-deadline-time (point)))"

Thanks,
Radon Rosborough

Confirmed.

Sorry, I noticed this problem after sending the patch, but I do not know
an easy way to solve it. To handle sexps properly, we need to do
something more complex than just a simple regexp. Probably, using
org-element--parse-paired-brackets or similar code.

Fixing this is (down) in my todo-list, but patches are welcome.

Best,
Ihor

If you insert the format string into a temporary buffer, then the `read'
function will read up to the closing parenthesis and update point
accordingly. That would be a foolproof way to handle all possible Lisp
forms: use a regexp to find the start, and then use `read' to find the end.
Then proceed with regexp matching, and repeat like that.

Thanks for the suggestion! The patch is attached.

Subject: [PATCH] Allow sexps with nested parenthesis in
 org-agenda-prefix-format

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-compile-prefix-format): Use `read' instead
of pure regexp matching to determine bounds of %(sexp) expressions in
`org-agenda-prefix-format'.

Ah yes, you can also check the length of the form that was read. Good call,
I didn't think of that option, which is clearly better than using a
temporary buffer. Thanks!
