Batch processing part of a file

Batch processing part of a file

[Loris Bennett]

Dear List,

I have an orgmode file for collecting data and producing a plot.  The
file contains a Perl script which runs on a remote machine and generates
Graphviz input.  This is then used to create a PDF file.

I have had a look at

  http://orgmode.org/manual/Batch-execution.html

but it is not clear to me how I would navigate to the right part of the
file so that I could then call org-babel-execute-src-block.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Loris

Haven't tested it but this should work: make sure that the code block is
named and then use org-babel-goto-named-src-block.

Or if you want to goto a heading first see this thread:

When I run org-babel-goto-named-src-block interactively, tab-completion
offers me the name of the block I'm interested in, but when I select it,
I get 

,------------------------------------------------------------
| source-code block 'mem-usage-hist' not found in this buffer
`------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a bug?  I'm on emacs23 with Org 7.8.11.

Cheers

Loris

This problem seems to be caused by the use of '#+header', so with

,------------------------
| #+name: test
| #+header: :file out.txt
| #+begin_src sh
| echo blah
| #+end_src
`------------------------

I get the above error, but with

,-----------------------------
| #+name: test
| #+begin_src sh :file out.txt
| echo blah
| #+end_src
`-----------------------------

I don't.

I've also noticed that, using the latest Org version from git, src
blocks with "#+header" lines *below* the "#+name" are handled
incorrectly, contrary to blocks whose "#+header" lines lie *above* the
"#+name".

Thanks to you, Bastien, for considering the quickest & dirtiest bug
report I've ever written !
