Dear all,
Let's say I have the following entries and their associated properties.
Is there an easy way to export these information as csv formated table?
* Marc, Mart :Mart_Marc::
:PROPERTIES:
:name: Marc, Mart
:typ: diss
:empirisch: ja
:status: angemeldet
:END:
* Marc, Mart2 :Mart_Marc2:
:PROPERTIES:
:name: Marc, Mart2
:typ: diss
:empirisch: ja
:status: angemeldet
:END:
The final csv table would look like this:
name, typ, empirisch, status
Mart, Marc; diss; ja; angemeldet
Mart2, Marc; diss; ja; angemeldet
I played around with dynamic blocks and spent some time trying to
understand the property API but since my elips skills are very (very)
limited to no avail...
Thanks,
Bernd

Perhaps a combination of a columnview dblock[fn:1] to produce a table and then
a radio table with a translation function[fn:2]:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+COLUMNS: %name %typ %empirisch %status
* Marc, Mart :Mart_Marc::
:PROPERTIES:
:name: Marc, Mart
:typ: diss
:empirisch: ja
:status: angemeldet
:END:
* Marc, Mart2 :Mart_Marc2:
:PROPERTIES:
:name: Marc, Mart2
:typ: diss
:empirisch: nein
:status: angemeldet
:END:
* The column view
#+ORGTBL: SEND foo orgtbl-to-csv
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id global
#+END:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL foo
END RECEIVE ORGTBL foo
#+END_EXAMPLE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
C-c C-c on the columnview dblock will create a table from the properties
using the COLUMNS definition:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* The column view
#+ORGTBL: SEND foo orgtbl-to-csv
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id global
| name | typ | empirisch | status |
|-------------+------+-----------+------------|
| Marc, Mart | diss | ja | angemeldet |
| Marc, Mart2 | diss | nein | angemeldet |
| | | | |
#+END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
In order to accomplish the radio-table sending part, I had to switch
the ORGTBL and BEGIN lines, otherwise the sending is not activated.
This might qualify as a bug. So it looks like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* The column view
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id global
#+ORGTBL: SEND foo orgtbl-to-csv
| name | typ | empirisch | status |
|-------------+------+-----------+------------|
| Marc, Mart | diss | ja | angemeldet |
| Marc, Mart2 | diss | nein | angemeldet |
| | | | |
#+END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then C-c C-c in the table sends it to the target:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* The column view
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id global
#+ORGTBL: SEND foo orgtbl-to-csv
| name | typ | empirisch | status |
|-------------+------+-----------+------------|
| Marc, Mart | diss | ja | angemeldet |
| Marc, Mart2 | diss | nein | angemeldet |
| | | | |
#+END:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL foo
name,typ,empirisch,status
"Marc, Mart",diss,ja,angemeldet
"Marc, Mart2",diss,nein,angemeldet
,,,
END RECEIVE ORGTBL foo
#+END_EXAMPLE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks, Nick! Works like a charm!
