Thanks for the attachment. It works fine indeed! But should it be so complicated to add this behavior to Org-mode? I can rewrite your table as follows : #+name: table | | keys | values | |---+------+--------| | | foo | 1 | | ^ | | foo | | | bar | 2 | | ^ | | bar | Now I can refer to bar value as $bar in org-table. So, my suggestion is only to mimic this feature to assign value of source block variable like : #+headers: :results verbatim #+begin_src sh :var foo=table$foo :var bar=table$bar cat <<EOF Pulling the data from the above table we find that foo is $foo and baz is $bar. EOF #+end_src But anyway, thanks for the solution. Cheers. Roland.
