Hi all,
why is it, that I can not use this code in sh blocks (I get sh: 2: Bad
substitution), even though it is valid when I run the tangled
script? Is this a known thing?
#+begin_src sh :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :tangle test.sh
for i in *.org; do
echo cp "$i" "${i/%.org/.bak.org}"
done
#+end_src
How can I get the above block to execute?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

I just copied your block into a fresh "test.org" file, and eval'ed the code
block:
#+begin_src sh :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :tangle test.sh
for i in *.org; do
echo cp "$i" "${i/%.org/.bak.org}"
done
#+end_src
#+results:
| cp | test-export4.org | test-export4.bak.org |
| cp | test-export5.org | test-export5.bak.org |
| cp | test-export7.org | test-export7.bak.org |
Works perfectly for me, it seems, on:
GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2012-01-23 on MARVIN
Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.410.g77fb)
Best regards,
Seb

thanks for testing!
That's what I'd like to get as well. I tried with emacs -Q with no
success. Seems the sh block is not executed by my bash.
After more thoughts on this my guess is that it has to do with dash
being the default shell in debian.
#+begin_src sh :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :tangle test.sh
echo $_
ls -l /bin/sh
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| /bin/sh | | | | | | | | | | |
| lrwxrwxrwx | 1 | root | root | 4 | Sep | 27 | 14:23 | /bin/sh | -> | dash |
How can I get this to be /bin/bash? Preferably from within org mode,
but I am grateful for any hint.
(Somehow this question seems familiar to me...)
My setup:
I am on Debian testing with
GNU Emacs 24.0.93.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.2.3) of
2012-02-16 on zelenka, modified by Debian
Org-mode version 7.8.03, pulled last week
(how do I get the release info as well?)
Regards,
Andreas

I have the following for my Emacs config:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq shell-file-name "bash")
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Note that this is related to an old discussion I had with Eric Schulte. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-12/msg00078.html.
Best regards,
Seb

If you are running from a git repository then M-x org-version should
show the results of 'git describe' automatically.
C-u M-x org-version RET
Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.420.gaf2a4)

Hi,
As with the other recent sh-block email, the problem is likely due to
the interpreter used (e.g., bash as compared to dash). See the value of
`org-babel-sh-command' which defaults to "sh" which defaults to a POSIX
rather than bash shell on many systems.
Best,

thanks a lot! The org-babel-sh-command did the trick!

Hi Bernt,
thanks. I did not get the git describe part.
Now looking at the code of org-version, I saw, that I
get this only, when I run org from the repository (I did make install and
load from another place). Kind of obvious.....
Now I am loading org from the repository. Bit anyway, since I have some
changes committed locally on top, that won't give useful (useful to others)
information.
Regards,
Andreas
