Hi Rainer,

I'm not sure that code blocks are the solution for this particular
problem.  The following simple function should do what you want.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun schulte/current-table-to-tex (file)
  "Export the current table as latex to FILE."
  (interactive "F")
  ((lambda (tex-table) (with-temp-file file (insert tex-table)))
   (org-export-region-as-latex (org-table-begin) (org-table-end) t 'string)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best -- Eric
