The babel sh example here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html#source-code-execution says (and shows), "Babel automatically converts the output into an Org-mode table.". When I run that same code
#+name: directories #+begin_src sh :results replace cd ~ && du -sc * |grep -v total #+end_src I do not get a table. Rather, I get the results in two columns and a "#+begin_example" #+RESULTS: directories #+begin_example <etc> Can anyone provide a working example for generating a table in shell mode that can then be used with Python code? Thanks, -k.
