Dear org-mode hackers,
in a org-mode file I copy various information to a org-table. Sometimes
there are empty rows in that org-table which I don't like. Therefore I
wrote a little function that removes empty rows from a org-mode table.
Maybe this is of any for org-mode or for other people. I would like to
hear of any improvements or better ways to do this. Maybe this already
exists in org-mode somewhere? :-)
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun fa/org-table-remove-empty-rows ()
"Removes empty rows in a org-mode table."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(unless (org-table-p)
(error
"You are not in an org-table."))
(goto-char (org-table-begin))
(let ((tbl-list (org-table-to-lisp)))
(while
(let ((row-list (car tbl-list)))
(cond ((and
(listp row-list)
(equal row-list (make-list (length row-list)
(string))))
(kill-line)
(kill-line))
(t (next-line)))
(setq tbl-list (cdr tbl-list)))))))
#+END_SRC
This functions does the following:
|------+------+-----| |------+------+-----|
| test | foo | bar | | test | foo | bar |
|------+------+-----| |------+------+-----|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| | | | | 4 | | 6 |
| 4 | | 6 | --> | | test | bla |
| | | | |------+------+-----|
| | test | bla | | | 2 | 4 |
|------+------+-----| |------+------+-----|
| | | |
| | 2 | 4 |
|------+------+-----|
