Hi,

Is it possible to pass a variable to a source block such that the
variable can be used as part of the name of the output file?

Currently I have

#+HEADER: :var data=timelimit-elapsed-data year=2011 :colnames yes
#+HEADER: :session *r* :file (org-babel-temp-file "time-elapsed-" ".pdf")

which gets me a different name for each value of 'year', but ideally I
would like the files to be called

time-elapsed-2011.pdf
time-elapsed-2012.pdf
time-elapsed-2013.pdf

etc.

Can this be done? 

Cheers,

Loris
