Hi,
I've been using org mode's #+BEGIN_SRC ... <code> #+END_SRC feature to
display source code.
I was wondering if there's a way to include code from an external file.
Like the *\lstinputlisting* feature in the LaTeX *listings* package.
I have a source code file that keeps getting modified, and each time I
publish my project to the web (htmlize), I'd like to have the latest
version of it in my source code block instead of having to copy-paste its
contents each time.

You could use the #+INCLUDE directive.

You could write a code block which when executed wraps the file's
contents in a code block which is then inserted into the Org-mode
buffer. For example if your external file is named foo.c and holds C
code the following
#+begin_src sh :exports results :results raw output
echo "#+BEGIN_SRC C"
cat foo.c
echo "#+END_SRC"
#+end_src
will insert its contents into the buffer during every export.

Thanks a lot Eric, though I got it working with what Puneeth suggested
earlier :)

That might be necessary in more complex situations, but in the OP's case
(at least, to the extent that I understand it), Puneeth's suggestion of
#+begin_src c :exports code
#+include: foo.c
#+end_src
seems to work fine.

Oh, I didn't notice the code block surrounding the include call in
Puneeth's suggestion. I didn't realize include working inside of
blocks, very cool. I agree that is preferable to my code block
execution base solution.
