Hello,

I have an org table and its third column are emails. I would like to
send an email from command line (with the "mail" cli tool) to all those
addresses.

1. How do I extract them from the table and pass to CC of "mail"?

2. Is the same possible somehow if I have several tables with different
#+TBLNAMEs: in the same file?

Thank you in advance!

Check out Listing 7 in
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acscatal.5b00538.

It is a pretty minimal Python script to get data from a table. You could
then use it to print column 3 to stdout maybe so it could get piped to
mail, or build up some command you can call.

Thank you very much!

Is py_org_table.py part of a bigger library? Where can I find it?

Thank you!

I think you just put Listing 7 in a file called py_org_table.py on your
Python path, or you could just integrate it into the script.
