Hi all,

I have problems with the following table to be inserted into the org
mode buffer:

#+begin_src R :results table
  data.frame(parameter=c("parameter", "", "param1"),
             mean=c("mean ± sd", "", "1.1 ± 0.1"),
             median=c("median", "(minimum;maximum)", "1 (1;2)"))
#+end_src

#+results:

The problem seems to be the "(" as a first character in a cell.  Is
this a to-be-expected limitation of org-mode tables?

Regards,
Andreas

I can't test this because of the  character.

Can you send something we can test?

Thanks,

Hi Bastien,

thanks for looking into this!

                                 ^^^^^
This character got lost on the mailing list.  I guess the offending
character was the plus-minus character.

This should be testable, I hope:

,----
| #+begin_src R :results table
|   data.frame(parameter=c("parameter", "", "param1"),
|              mean=c("mean +- sd", "", "1.1 +- 0.1"),
|              median=c("median", "(minimum;maximum)", "1 (1;2)"))
| #+end_src
| 
| #+results:
`----

Again, this works as expected, if "(minimum" is replaced by "minimum".

Regards,
Andreas

This happens in org-babel-import-elisp-from-file, when org-babel-string-read
is mapped on each row. To wit:

(org-babel-string-read "foo)") --> "foo)"

but

(org-babel-string-read "(foo)") --> Error

The backtrace for the error says:

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function foo)
|   (foo)
|   eval((foo))
|   (if (and (not inhibit-lisp-eval) (member (substring cell 0 1) (quote ("(" "'" "`" "[")))) (eval (read cell)) (if (string= (substring cell 0 1) "\"") (read cell) (progn (set-text-properties 0 (length cell) nil cell) cell)))
|   (or (org-babel-number-p cell) (if (and (not inhibit-lisp-eval) (member (substring cell 0 1) (quote ("(" "'" "`" "[")))) (eval (read cell)) (if (string= (substring cell 0 1) "\"") (read cell) (progn (set-text-properties 0 (length cell) nil cell) cell))))
|   (if (and (stringp cell) (not (equal cell ""))) (or (org-babel-number-p cell) (if (and (not inhibit-lisp-eval) (member (substring cell 0 1) (quote ("(" "'" "`" "[")))) (eval (read cell)) (if (string= (substring cell 0 1) "\"") (read cell) (progn (set-text-properties 0 (length cell) nil cell) cell)))) cell)
|   org-babel-read("(foo)")

Hi Nick,

thanks for that analysis!  I had tried replacing "(" with "[" without
success.  Now I "know" why:

(org-babel-string-read "[foo)") --> Error

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax ") or . in a vector")
|   read("[foo)")
|   org-babel-read("[foo)")
|   org-babel-string-read("[foo)")
|   eval((org-babel-string-read "[foo)") nil)
|   eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
|   eval-last-sexp(nil)
|   call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
`----

Regards,
Andreas

BTW, two possible workarounds which "work" with org-babel-string-read:

(org-babel-string-read "[foo]") --> [foo]

(org-babel-string-read "'(bar)") --> (bar)

do *not* work in the original context, so the org-babel-string-read
problem is probably only part of the story.

Try this:

(org-babel-read "(bar)")     => error
(org-babel-read "(bar)" t)   => ok

What is at stake here is that perhaps `org-babel-read' should be more
clever in turning `inhibit-lisp-eval' automatically on in some contexts.
But Eric has the last word on this, I'm not familiar enough with the
code.

Thanks,
