Dear Org-mode gurus,
I use org-mode to generate documents with latex and R codes. I also use
some R function (package: Hmisc) to generate latex tables. One of the
functions produces a blank line with-in the table environment which
causes a fatal error in the .tex file. Is there a way that I can use
emacs-lisp commands like "replace-string" from within the .org file to
act on the .tex file that is exported or other "#+options:" for export
that will do this edit without having to open the .tex file? Thank you
for your help.
Best regards,
Rajat Mukherjee,
Biostatistician

I definitely don't consider myself a guru, but I had a similar problem. I
built a function that finds and removes the empty line and then added this
via add-hook to org-export-latex-final-hook. I suspect one of the real
gurus can suggest a better way to do this, but this works for me.
Here's my code that you can adapt as necessary.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun remove-line-from-exam.tex ()
(if (search-forward-regexp "\\documentclass\[[0-9]+pt]{exam}" nil t nil)
(while (re-search-forward "\\\\question\n\n" nil t)
(replace-match "\\\\question\n"))))
(add-hook 'org-export-latex-final-hook (function remove-line-from-exam.tex))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My set-up works when I export to pdf (using the [d] export option).
Perhaps you could post your adaptation and someone can figure out why your
function doesn't work.
