Is there a way to pull data from multiple clocktables (with names matching a
regular expression) all at the same time into variables passed into a code
block?
I use clocktables to keep track of how I spend my time at work, with things
falling into one of three major categories (see [1]). I use a different
clocktable for every month, and they have names like c_201805, c_201806 and
c_201807. For example:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 3 :scope tree :compact nil :header "#+NAME: c_201808\n"
#+NAME: c_201808
[ ... clocktable stuff here ... ]
#+END
This all works very well but it leads to some messiness when I want to gather up
data from all of those clocktables at the same time. I use R to munge the data,
and I have a source block that starts:
#+BEGIN_SRC R :session R:clocktable :results none :var c_201709=c_201709
c_201710=c_201710 c_201711=c_201711 c_201712=c_201712 c_201801=c_201801
c_201802=c_201802 c_201803=c_201803 c_201804=c_201804 c_201805=c_201805
c_201806=c_201806 c_201807=c_201807 c_201808=c_201808 :colnames yes
When I just had three or four monthly clocktables to handle, that was OK, but as
you can see it's getting kind of crazy.
Is there a way that I can get all of the c_YYYYMM tables passed into a code
block, as done above, but without having to specify them individually? I have a
feeling there's a bit of Lisp that would do it somehow, but I don't know what it
would be. I'm happy to use an intermediary table if that's easiest.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Bill
