Org source block header argument :var does not support space separated string

Org source block header argument :var does not support space separated string

[stardiviner]

Org source block header argument :var does not support quoted string with space separator like bellowing example:

For example

**** encrypt text -- ~<<< [TEXT]~

#+NAME: base64 encrypt text
#+begin_src sh
base64 <<< "stardiviner <numbchild@gmail.com>"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS: base64 encrypt text
: c3RhcmRpdmluZXIgPG51bWJjaGlsZEBnbWFpbC5jb20+Cg==

**** decrypt text -- ~-d~

#+begin_src sh :var encrypted="base64 encrypt text"
# base64 -d <<< c3RhcmRpdmluZXIgPG51bWJjaGlsZEBnbWFpbC5jb20+Cg==
base64 -d <<< $encrypted
#+end_src

If I use #+NAME: base64-encrypt-text and :var encrypted=base64-encrypt-text, then it works fine.

I cannot reproduce your issues, literally. It complains about
a redirection error or something.

Anyway, I tried the following block:

    #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var encrypted="base64 encrypt text"
    encrypted
    #+end_src

and the output is

    #+results:
    : base64 encrypt text

which means there doesn't seem to be a problem with strings within
quotes.

Oops, I misunderstand the :var variable="literal quoted string".
I want to reference the named source's result in variable.

Like:

**** encrypt text -- ~<<< [TEXT]~

#+NAME: base64 encrypt text
#+begin_src sh
base64 <<< "stardiviner <numbchild@gmail.com>"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS: base64 encrypt text
: c3RhcmRpdmluZXIgPG51bWJjaGlsZEBnbWFpbC5jb20+Cg==

**** decrypt text -- ~-d~

#+begin_src sh :var encrypted=<base64 encrypt text>
# base64 -d <<< c3RhcmRpdmluZXIgPG51bWJjaGlsZEBnbWFpbC5jb20+Cg==
# base64 -d <<< $encrypted
echo $encrypted
#+end_src

#+RESULTS[<2018-10-20 16:46:10> 6e5d3875d0928eb95ec1356661f965bdf4882244]:

I can use #+NAME: base64-encrypt-text for first source block, and :var encrypted=base64-encrypt-text for second source block. So it can work. But is it possible to allow space in source block name and make it still can be referenced? Like quote it with <> around the name as my upper example?

This works 

#+begin_src sh :var encrypted=(org-babel-ref-resolve "base64 encrypt text()")
echo $encrypted
#+end_src

You might write a wrapper, so something like (quote-ref "base64 encrypt text")	will handle it.

HTH,

Chuck
