Ah, I need more help, though...

I have tried this code.  I made it as simple as possible to clarify my question.

(defun add-word ()
  (interactive)
  '(org-table-put (@2 $2 "word!")))

and execute in a buffer having a table already.  It did not work at all.

But also I kept wondering what could happen if there are two separate tables in the same buffer?  I checked cells with C-c?, then realized that the cell locations are not unique in more than one table.  So, there must be a way to identify the table in question.

Thanks again.

Hi. I'm trying to write an elisp code to enter words into a table of org-mode.

after designating a buffer, which already contains a table, I simply wrote,

   '(insert "test!" @2$2)

does not work obviously.

indeed.




Do I need to move the "point" to the particular cell before inserting?

You could to that, using the functions org-table-goto-line and then org-table-goto-column.

However, it is easier to use, for programmatic access to fields, the functions
`org-table-put' and `org-table-get'.
