Subject: could a :var header argument refer to a data table in another file?
Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 13:22:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87czud8elm.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello all,
TL;DR: I have the need to reference a table that is in another file to
pass as data to a src block in the current file. Is this possible?
Hints welcome!
Longer version: I am running a series of numerical experiments, each of
which generates output files (using org syntax!). I want to process the
data in those files for inclusion in a paper. Now, I could write a
shell script which extracts all these data and collates them etc. but it
would be ideal if I could simply refer to a table in another file
directly. The tables are all named although a given table in each
output file will have the same name (I hope that makes sense).
One thing that comes to mind is some elisp in the argument to the :var
header argument. Is this possible? I've not tried...
Thank you,
eric
