Dear all,
Just writing to see if it is possible to use variable in org-capture
configuration, like this
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file *"~/org/refile.org"*) "* TODO %?\n
%i\n %a" :prepend t)))
------------------------
\---How could I use->
(concat My-Dropbox-Path "refile.org")
Since I put all my files in Dropbox, and the My-Dropbox-Path has different
values under MAC and M$Windows.
Thanks,
Chao

Search for "backtick" on gmane - see e.g. the following post:

Chao,
I believe I had the exact same issue, caused the exact same use case,
i.e., Dropbox. Read David's answer and see if it helps:

Using backquote as the others in this thread say is one possibility.
However, you can also get the latest version of Org - it does
allow a lisp form for the file name:
