Hello Ken, thank you for your message,
After reading the very interesting get_property function, I found that even though I will probably use it for some cases, it doesn’t apply directly, to my case.
For more examples, if I have 1 source code block:
>> #+name: greeting
>> #+begin_src sh :var name="world" :results output :session testing
>>
>> echo "hello, $name\!"
>> #+end_src
I have three options in noweb to use this:
- Use its body into another begin_src source code block with <<greeting>>
- Use its result “hello, world!” Into another code block, which results in babel trying to execute the hello, command, which doesn’t exist, this with <<greeting()>>
- Use its result, the same as above, but with another parameter, results in the same but the variable name is different, so <<greeting(name=“another name”)>>
I’m trying to do the first, but with another parameter, so Use its body into another begin_src source code block with, get the resulting body after changing the variable without it being evaluated, so that I get a valid command to get to bash, like with <<greeting>>, but I can specify a different name variable.
I found the [:body] param but, even though it lets me change the variable as I want, it then tries to evaluate it, so I get a different value but the same hello, command doesn’t exist. Even though what I would want is to get echo “hello, $name\!” but, $name is different.
Thank you for your response Ken, I hope I gave a clearer example with the above.

It bypasses :var an lets you inject a PROPERTY value anywhere. It is also language agnostic. You can use it to execute commands (that are set as PROPERTY values) or set variables to values.
