I'm using org-babel to automate a few tasks and I'd like to define a few
variables that are common to several code blocks as sub-tree properties.
It works when I have only one variable, where I can use
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Heading
:PROPERTY:
:var: variable1="value1"
:END:
#+begin_src python :results output
print variable1
#+end_src
#+results:
: value1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Is it possible to set multiples variables in this way?
I tried things like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
:PROPERTY:
:var: variable1="value1" variable2="value2"
:END:
:PROPERTY:
:var: variable1="value1",variable2="value2"
:END:
:PROPERTY:
:variable1: "value1"
:variable2: "value2"
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but none of them worked.

Yours, Christian [1] I do have a small research database with some "multivalued" properties in it. For queries, I use your org-collector and regular expression matching against properties with multiple values. The multivalued-properties functions didn't really come into it, except that knowing they were there made me go ahead and put multiple values in one property.

Therefore I would get the effect of adding ":var variable1="value1" :var variable2="value2"" in the block header and it could work. However, even if this method had worked It would not be flexible. One of the nice things about properties is inheritance. I would like to define "general variables" as properties in level-1 headings and define more specific variables in the sub-headings as necessary. However, if babel always use :var: as the property then defining a variable in a subheading will overwrite the upper level variable. The best option in my use-case-scenario would be some name scheme to identify variable definitions for org-babel. For instance --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- :PROPERTY: :ob-someVariable: "some string maybe with\nline breaks" :ob-someOtherVariable: 123456 :END: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- would make the variables "someVariable" and "someOtherVariable" known to org-babel. -- Darlan Cavalcante At Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:27:00 +0200, Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com> wrote: > > Hi again, > > I was referring to these functions: > - org-entry-put-multivalued-property > - org-entry-get-multivalued-property > - org-entry-add-to-multivalued-property > - org-entry-remove-from-multivalued-property > - org-entry-member-in-multivalued-property > described here: > http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html > > I've found a few discussions: > - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33457 > - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-02/msg00251.html > > I don't have anything working with them, as such,[1] and I was curious > if anyone did.

That is to say, there should be a way to collect multiple value for a property in Org-mode, and Babel should simply make use of the more general facility. This doesn't exist yet, but I'd rather wait for the general Org solution than push through a temporary Babel-specific solution.

I think this is a deal-breaker for use resolving header arguments as inheritance is generally more useful than multiple values.

* Re: [babel] How to set multiple variables with properties 2011-06-21 20:17 ` Eric Schulte 2011-06-21 21:01 ` Christian Moe @ 2011-06-22 1:03 ` Darlan Cavalcante Moreira 1 sibling, 0 replies; 9+ messages in thread From: Darlan Cavalcante Moreira @ 2011-06-22 1:03 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Eric Schulte; +Cc: Orgmode Mailing List Thanks Eric, I'll minimize the need of this by using "#+babel: var=something" for variables that are common to many blocks. The tip with the table is a good one also. -- Darlan Cavalcante At Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:17:17 -0700, Eric Schulte wrote: > > Unfortunately org-mode properties only allow a single entry for any > given key, so you can only specify one variable using properties. > > However the following workaround does exist. > > *** alternative > :PROPERTIES: > :var: vars=variables > :END: > > #+tblname: variables > | var1 | 1 | > | var2 | 2 | > > #+begin_src python > print vars[0][1] > print vars[1][1] > #+end_src > > Best -- Eric > > Darlan Cavalcante Moreira <darcamo@gmail.com> writes: > > > I'm using org-babel to automate a few tasks and I'd like to define a few > > variables that are common to several code blocks as sub-tree properties. > > > > It works when I have only one variable, where I can use > > * Heading > > :PROPERTY: > > :var: variable1="value1" > > :END: > > #+begin_src python :results output > > print variable1 > > #+end_src > > > > #+results: > > : value1 > > > > Is it possible to set multiples variables in this way? > > I tried things like > > :PROPERTY: > > :var: variable1="value1" variable2="value2" > > :END: > > > > :PROPERTY: > > :var: variable1="value1",variable2="value2" > > :END: > > > > :PROPERTY: > > :variable1: "value1" > > :variable2: "value2" > > :END: > > but none of them worked. > > > > > > -- > > Darlan Cavalcante > > > > -- > Eric Schulte > http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
