Hi,
I am running the latest builds of emacs-25 branch and org master branch.
I used ob-awk for the first time today and was surprised to see that the
#+RESULTS: were displayed as org tables. I do not know if that is due to
ob-awk or ob-core and so am posting it here.
Here is the minimum working example:
(1) Launch emacs -Q
(2) Create a test.txt file with the below contents (without the ===== lines
of course):
===== test.txt =====
emacs 25.0.95
org-mode 8.3.4
=====
(3) Eval (require 'ob-awk)
(4) Create this test.org file
===== test.org =====
#+BEGIN_SRC awk :in-file test.txt :exports both
{ print "My", $1, "version is", $2, "."}
#+END_SRC
=====
(5) Now with point in that src block, hit C-c C-c, answer "yes" to the
babel eval query, and you will get the below result!
#+RESULTS:
| My | emacs | version | is | 25.0.95 | . |
| My | org-mode | version | is | 8.3.4 | . |
So how can I generate the result as one would normally see by running awk
in the terminal, without the additional org-table pipe characters?

Bummer, found it; needed " :results raw" header arg

Correction: ":results verbatim"

Hi all,
I learnt that I need to have ":results verbatim" as a header argument for
awk source blocks. But I don't understand why I need that in the first
place.
The default value of :results is replace. Then why is it converting the awk
results to org tables?
Thanks.
Kaushal

There are four classes of :results header arguments. :results replace
refers to how the results are handled. :results verbatim refers to the
type of result returned.

Hi Thomas,
Yes, I learned that from the org info manual. But it is still confusing
because in the "Type" subsection in "(org) results" info node, it says:
> The following options are mutually exclusive and specify what type of
results the code block will return. By default, results are inserted as
either a table or scalar depending on their value.
So what determines if the results should be table formatted or kept
verbatim (scalar)?

I think I'm correct to say that by default a single value result is
output as a scalar, and everything else is converted to an Org mode
table.

TL;DR: That is almost correct. `:post' header arg gives fine control of
formatting if needed.
`org-babel-insert-result' formats anything that isn't a string or a list
using "%S". Then it tries hard to turn a list into a "table". Lists that
cannot be made into tables are formatted as strings with "%s\n". However,
various languages have their own formatting principles, so what
`org-babel-insert-result' gets as the `result' is a bit idiosyncratic.
You can get a deeper look at the `result' by pretty printing it with the
aid of a :post header arg. Example:
#+NAME: I-feel-pretty
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results pp
*this*
#+END_SRC
This elisp list is not revised:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :post I-feel-pretty
'(a b c (d . e))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: (a b c
: (d . e))
But R turns its list into an R data.frame and then into a elisp list with
an element for each row:
#+BEGIN_SRC R :post I-feel-pretty
list(a="a",b="b", c="c", d=c("d", "e"))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: (("a" "b" "c" "d")
: ("a" "b" "c" "e"))
HTH,
Chuck

Hi Charles, Thomas,
Thank you for the replies. They were very useful.
I learned about :post for the first time. That minimal example worked
great. Earlier I was confused about "*this*", but then from Info node
"(org) post", I learned that it's a special variable for :post.
For now, ":results verbatim" does the job for me for awk source blocks. But
:post looks like a very powerful generic solution. With your reply, I at
least tried it out and I will keep that in mind for when I might need to
use it in future.
