Re: [PATCH] Translate refs to rc also in remote references

Hi Bastien.
    

    > -    (while (string-match "\\<\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)\\([0-9]+\\>\\|&\\)\\|\\(;[^\r\n:]+\\|\\<remote([^)]*)\\)" s start)
    > +    (while (string-match "\\<\\([a-zA-Z]+\\)\\([0-9]+\\>\\|&\\)\\|\\(;[^\r\n:]+\\|\\<remote([^,]*[ \t]*\\|)\\)" s start)
    
    I fail to see the meaning of ([^,]*[ \t]*\\|) replacing ([^)]*)
    
    The \\| is wrong, right?

Yep, you can remove the \\|.
    
    I think I need an example with such a remote reference, the way
    org-table-convert-refs-to-rc would have converted it, and the way
    it does with your patch.

Real example from a formula in a table of mine:

  B3=(B2*remote(Factors,F10))/remote(Factors,G10)

The old org-table-convert-refs-to-rc would have converted it to:

"@3$2=(@2$2*remote(Factors,F10))/remote(Factors,G10)"
  
The new version to:

"@3$2=(@2$2*remote(Factors,@10$6))/remote(Factors,@10$7)"

i.e. the old version was not converting the A0 coordinates to rc
coordinates.
