shell scripts in yasnippet?

shell scripts in yasnippet?

Hi there,

right now I’m tinkering around with yasnippet.
I was wondering if there’s a possibility to run a shell script and write its results in the text file.

Specifically, I’m want to run “fortune” and put the results in a #+BEGIN_QUOTE…#+END_QUOTE block.
Would that be possible?
Best regards,
Tobias Frischholz

This is kind of close:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(yas-global-mode)
(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "# name : my-fortune
# key: myf
# expand-env: ((yas-indent-line nil)
# --

#+BEGIN_QUOTE:
${1:`(shell-command-to-string \"fortune\")`}
#END_QUOTE

$0
")
  (yas-load-snippet-buffer-and-close 'org-mode))
#+END_SRC

For some reason it is inserting some extra spaces before # for me, and I
cannot figure out why.

This will not work. That is not what yasnippets are for. What you want
is more like this:

http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2013/10/14/Lisp-links-in-org-mode-to-dynamically-generated-content/

Or this:
* test fortune


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :results org
(format "#+BEGIN_QUOTE:
%s
,#+END_QUOTE
" (shell-command-to-string "fortune"))
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
(let ((org-export-babel-evaluate t))
  (browse-url (org-html-export-to-html nil t)))
#+END_SRC
