Simplify repeated same section with different variable value

Simplify repeated same section with different variable value

Hi

I have a section which I want to repeat for different variable values. At the moment I am copying
them, but I do not like it at all:

** Species one
:PROPERTIES:
:var: SPECIES="sp1"
:END:
*** Data Checks
Here is some text
#+header: :results output
#+begin_src R
  checkData(species=SPECIES)
#+end_src


** Species 2
:PROPERTIES:
:var: SPECIES="sp2"
:END:
*** Data Checks
Here is some text
#+header: :results output
#+begin_src R
  checkData(species=SPECIES)
#+end_src


I am sure there must be an easier way with org?

Cheers,

Rainer

How about using yasnippet?

Yasnippets would help in filling the file with the repeated code - but if I want to change e.g.
"some text" to "some more text", I still have to do it manually. Nevertheless, if I could define
the org section once and repeat it with different variable values, this would enable me to change
it only once.

I don't personally know of an org-specific way. But you can do amazing
things with `query-replace-regexp' in Emacs, especially the \# and \,
escapes which, respectively, let you embed the replacement counter and
arbitrary elisp code in the replacement string. (See the docstring or
Emacs manual for details.)

Whether you consider writing regexps and elisp snippets "easier" is open
to debate...

Use the #+call mechanism:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* subroutine

#+name: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp :var x=1
(* x x)
#+END_SRC

* call

#+call: foo(4)

#+RESULTS: foo(4)
: 16

* call

#+call: foo(5) 

#+RESULTS: foo(5)
: 25
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you like the call method (which is the best one IMHO) you can also add
the foo function to the library of babel. In this way you will be able to
call it from any org file without having to put the definition of the foo
function in each of them.

I like the #+call method. But I have one additional question: The #+call: should not only execute
the source block, but also wrap the result from the source block in the org structure, so that the
call results in the same as if writing manually in org:

*** Data Checks
Here is some text
#+header: :results output
#+begin_src R
  cat(SPECIES)
#+end_src


I could obviously create the org text by hand in the R function, but I do not like this. So I
would like to have something like the following, i.e. a source org block, which is then evaluated. So

* subroutine
#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC org :var SPECIES="sp1"
  ,*** Data Checks
  ,Here is some text
  ,#+header: :results output
  ,#+begin_src R
  ,  cat(SPECIES)
  ,#+end_src
#+END_SRC

* call
#+CALL: foo()

This, I hoped, would result in:

#+RESULTS: foo
*** Data Checks
Here is some text
sp1

But I get an error message: No org-babel-execute function for org!


I am stuck here.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Rainer

Although the following will do in a pinch, it is *not* the
best solution: it uses a string match to step from code block
to code block, instead of using org-element; but the idea is
the same, so the org-element solution is left as an exercise for
the interested reader :-)

Note that org-babel-remove-result presupposes that
point is in the corresponding source block: you can't blindly
use it from anywhere.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun rmk-org-remove-all-result-blocks ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (search-forward "#+begin_src " nil t)
      (org-babel-remove-result))))

remove all #+RESULTS blocks in a file?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I want to remove all #+RESULTS blocks in a file / section. org-babel-remove-result works nicely for 
a single block, but when the cursor is in a heading (e.g. in Test), only the first block is removed.

Is this a bug or a feature?

If a feature, is there a way of removing *all* #+RESULTS bocks in a file?

Thanks,

Rainer
