Hi, I have recutils data base and from that I want to use inline source code to generate a list of names, addresses, etc. for instance the following inline code when exported in latex src_sh[:results raw :results replace :exports results :eval yes]{recsel -t InterestedParties -e "IPName='Charles Millar'" -P IPPrintName Millar.rec} src_sh[:results raw :results replace :exports results :eval yes]{recsel -t InterestedParties -e "IPName='Charles Millar'" -P IPAddress1 Millar.rec} src_sh[:results raw :results replace :exports results :eval yes]{recsel -t InterestedParties -e "IPName='Charles Millar'" -P IPPAddress2 Millar.rec} will give Charles Millar 123 XYZ Street Apt 678 However, there are (as there should be) many records in the database and rather than set each and every IPName= to a specific field I want to use something like the following #+name: iponeshell #+begin_src sh :results raw :exports results iponeassign="Charles Millar" echo "$iponeassign" #+end_src #+RESULTS: iponeshell Charles Millar src_sh[:results raw :results replace :var IPOne='iponeshell' :eval yes]{recsel -t InterestedParties -e "IPName=IPOne" -P IPPrintName Millar.rec} src_sh[:results raw :results replace :var IPOne='iponeshell' :eval yes]{recsel -t InterestedParties -e "IPName=IPOne" -P IPAddress1 Millar.rec} src_sh[:results raw :results replace :var IPOne='iponeshell' :eval yes]{recsel -t InterestedParties -e "IPName=IPOne" -P IPAddress2 Millar.rec} The above example evaluates, but there is no output. I have tried :exports results as well as diggernet variations of dounle and sing quotes, at both where I define var and at the expression selection within recsel. I believe that this is bash issue so I have also tries to use $ with the :var and recsel selection expression. Any help would be gretly appreciated.
