org-babel R ascii results: unable to export table

org-babel R ascii results: unable to export table

[Marco Barbàra]

Dear org-mode community,

First, I want to apologize for subscribing mainly because I need help. 

I recently started using org-mode as a tool for reproducible research
(trying to do R-based literate programming).

What I'm trying to is explained in this example file:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/ascii.org
which I downloaded trying to understand how to export R output produced
with the R 'ascii' package.

Running this example, after adding ":exports results" to
"ascii-example3" block, _on the first attempt_, the output was exported
as an odt table (i was happy, this is my desired outcome). But
afterwards, any subsequent attempts to export the same block resulted in
a "verbatim" block, which is the same problem I was trying to solve.

I tried to export as a latex buffer too, and even there i got a verbatim
environment.

I don't think it is bug, it is probably that I still don't understand
org-babel well.

Sorry not to provide any other sample code, but I wouldn't know where
to begin.

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much

Marco Barbara

Hi Marco,

Here is a fairly minimal example to get you started:

#### Begin Example ####

#+PROPERTY: header-args:R :session *R* :results output drawer :exports both

#+BEGIN_SRC R
  library(ascii)
  options(asciiType="org")
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC R
  ascii(mtcars[1:5, 1:5])
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC R
  ascii(summary(lm(hp ~ wt, data = mtcars)))
#+END_SRC


### End Example

First execute the code blocks with 'M-x org-babel-execute-buffer' then
export. For more control I would refer to the manual section at
http://orgmode.org/manual/Working-With-Source-Code.html#Working-With-Source-Code

Best,
Ista

Hi,

sorry for replying so late. Thank you very much, your answer pointed me
in the right direction (I solved with :results output drawer)

Marco.
