Hi David,

One thing you can do is to make a code block, which will generate
another code block, running your script with different arguments.
Let me illustrate with a simple example:

#+name: printecho
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :var a=1
  echo $a;
#+END_SRC

#+name: genscript
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :var cmd="printecho" :results raw output  :wrap "src sh :noweb yes :results output"
  echo "cat << EOF"
  for x in "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "something"; do echo "<<$cmd(a=\"$x\")>>"; done
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: genscript
#+BEGIN_src sh :noweb yes :results output
  cat << EOF
  <<printecho(a="1")>>
  <<printecho(a="2")>>
  <<printecho(a="3")>>
  <<printecho(a="4")>>
  <<printecho(a="5")>>
  <<printecho(a="6")>>
  <<printecho(a="something")>>
#+END_src

#+RESULTS:
: 1
: 2
: 3
: 4
: 5
: 6
: something

Hope it helps.

P.S. Does anyone know why the following does not evaluate noweb
recursively?

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noweb yes :results output 
  <<genscript(cmd="printecho")>>
#+END_SRC

Regards,
Ihor
