Hey, all. I am trying to set a string at the head of the file and use it in different places in the file. Everything works correctly for somethign like ruby, but I am not sure how do do this with a shell command. Just sets the string to the url #+NAME: url_name #+BEGIN_SRC ruby "http://www.google.com" #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: url_name : http://www.google.com #+BEGIN_SRC ruby :var url_input=url_name url_input #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : http://www.google.com ^^ This seems to work fine. #+BEGIN_SRC shell :var url_input=url_name curl url_input #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: ^^ This doesn't work. It is trying to use "url_input" in the curl command. #+BEGIN_SRC shell curl {url_input} #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: ^^ this doesn't work. It is trying to use "url_input" in the curl command.
