hi, all.
for a project, i wanted to be able to easily query the contents of a
table in an org-mode document from the shell. in case that it might be
useful to others, the result is:
----
https://gitlab.com/minshall/org-query
----
the beginning of the help output is:
----
usage: org-query -h|--help
: org-query [-f|--field column] [--complement] [--regexp] file [[table:]column] key
: org-query -t|--tables file
: org-query -c|--columns file [table[:]]
: org-query -k|--keys file [[table:]column]
----
it works for my use cases (obviously), but i'm sure it will break, or be
feature-deficient, for those of others. i'd be happy to try to fix
bugs.
cheers, Greg
ps -- if anyone knows how to get gitlab.com to recognize org-mode
footnotes (in particular, of the [fn::"this is a footnote"]-variety), my
readme.org file would be pleased to hear.

Hi Greg,
That's very cool, thanks for sharing. If I may, please consider
renaming it to something like org-table-query.sh. org-query sounds more
generic, and like an Emacs package, so users might confused it with
something like org-ql (Org Query Language).

Adam,
thanks for the feedback. i hadn't known about org-ql -- very nice.
i've renamed the gitlab *project* org-table-query-script, though i've
kept the command, itself, the simpler org-query. does that seem
reasonable?
if so, i'll do whatever i need to give the gitlab URL for my project
"that name" (and leave a forward pointer at the old URL, for whoever may
have copied the current URL).
cheers, Greg
