Subject: How to emulate `#+begin_src sh :output table :colnames yes` ?

Message-ID: <DS7PR20MB46712959CF0CF62BD4393182BEE82@DS7PR20MB4671.namprd20.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Is there any best approach to formatting output of bash or shell code block as an org table whose first line is a header.
What I've tried:
#+begin_src bash :colnames yes :results output table
echo "Name,Age"
echo "Alice,30"
echo "Bob,25"
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| Name | Age |
| Alice | 30 |
| Bob | 25 |
Granted the org doc does
I would use :post to inject a 2nd line if I knew what to inject to have it be treated as separator between header and body of an org table
But I can't even figure that out. I've tried a few variations on the following none of which work in my hands.
#+begin_src bash :colnames yes :hline yes :results output table
echo "Name,Age"
echo "-,-"
echo "Alice,30"
echo "Bob,25"
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| Name | Age |
| - | - |
| Alice | 30 |
| Bob | 25 |
It seems the issue has been raised and not completely addressed here:
http://eschulte.github.io/babel-dev/DONE-Handling-of-table-column-names-and-hlines-across-languages
I would really like an approach which constructs output to be true ORG table which I can then feed to other downstream org tools that work with org table.
Thanks!
