Re: [O] How to pass a block of text to a code block as data?
Sean, that helps too, thank you. Now that you and Sebastien have gone to
all this trouble I found the part of the manual that sort of describes
this, but I clearly didn't understand it before. Possible needs a more
worked-out example for the slow among us, like self.
I've noticed one curious thing in trying a perl example. See first:
-8<--
#+name: wake
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
Howth Castle and Environs.
Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen-
core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy
isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor
had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse
to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper
all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to
#+END_EXAMPLE
#+begin_src perl :var inlines=wake :results output
foreach $aln (split(/$/,$inlines)) {
print $aln;
}
#+end_src
#+results:

and then a more complicated block that's closer to my real task:
-8<--

NOTICE THAT while both return the result as Example text, the first simple
prepends each line with a colon, simple Example form, and the second wraps
the result in an Example block without altering the lines.
Not sure why? Is this just a function of the number of lines of the text?

Re: [O] How to pass a block of text to a code block as data?
Sebastien:
Thanks! That helps a lot. I'm having trouble extending your example,
however. A couple of questions --
- What signals the end of the block of text to be used as data? I take it
that it's important that these all be comment lines staring with a colon
after the #+name label? Is there a way to do the same thing with a begin
and end block construction?
- In this line:
#+begin_src sh :stdin lines-of-text :results output
does the flag :stdin mean that the following named block literally becomes
the STDIN stream for the code block? If I replace your shell/grep example
with this:
#+begin_src perl :stdin lines-of-text :results output
while (<>) {
print $_;
}
#+end_src
...it doesn't work, although as far as I know that perl code snippet should
in fact simply print out the incoming lines from stdin.
Thanks again,
Michael

[O] How to pass a block of text to a code block as data?
I haven't been able to figure this out from the org-mode documents yet. What I would like to do is have a source code block in python or perl or something similar. to which I can pass a reference to several lines of text that the source code block, when evaluated, would then act on. Which would involve iterating through the data text one line at a time and writing the output to a buffer. The text data could be indicated by a specific headline or a named block of some sort or maybe an internal link, I'm not particularly fussy just so there's a mechanism to do this. Would appreciate any guidance. -- ======== Michael Baum
[O] Need help with processing a text block with python function
I know this is kind of an org-mode 101 question, sorry, but after searching docs for a couple of days, I could use a pointer. I want to write a function in a code block in python or perl that steps through lines of text and does some complicated reformatting, adding in html bits and such, for a specialized application. Then I want to be able paste a block of text into an org-mode file and call this function to walk through it and do it's stuff, sending the result to an export buffer. What's the best way to do that, specifically, what should I do with the text to be processed? Put it all under a single headline and call the function against that headline? Put it within some sort of begin/end markers? I need the python or whatever script to be able to step through one line at a time maybe using it's usual text input functions.

Re: [O] Problem with template expansion of previous prompts.
Yes, you're correct, Aaron, thanks. Apparently the secondary substitutions only get processed after all the questions are asked and the template is written out to the temp buffer. So the backslash has to be escaped to survive the first round of substitutions. I kind of feel that this should be stated more explicitly in the manual.

[O] Capture template -- Global replacement of prompt string in buffer?
I'm not sure (because I didn't understand what was going on) if this is the
same question that Sebastian Fischmeister asked earlier ("Custom escapes &
the evaluation order in fill-template"), but is it possible to construct a
capture template using something like the %{prompt} that replaces _all_
occurrences of the prompt string throughout the capture buffer, rather
than just at the insertion point of the escape expression?
I want to do something like this:
---8<
("p" "phone log" entry (file+datetree org-phone-log)
"* %^{Organization} - %^{First Name} %^{Last Name}
:PROPERTIES:
:FIRST_NAME: {First Name}
:LAST_NAME: {Last Name}
:ORG: {Organization}
:END:
usw.
---8<
where the value entered in response to {First Name} gets globally
substituted in two or more places in the template.
Can this be done?
tnx,
maab

[O] Setting a deadline in a template
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this but i can't seem to tease it out of the on-line docs. I want to set up a capture template for entering incoming work that automatically sets a deadline for the item when it's entered. Ideally, I'd like it to set a deadline 4 business hours in the future of the current time, but that's a tricky calculation and I'd settle for current time plus a day. I've tried the naive approach: ... DEADLINE: %T+1 ... Doesn't work so well. What's the proper way?

Re: [O] Upgrade org-mode over a older distribution version
Many thanks. I was afraid of something like that. So the idea is that a set or org-mode files under site-lisp takes precedence over the built-in files and that's how emacs knows which ones to run? maab On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 2:57 PM, Achim Gratz wrote: > Michael Baum writes: > > Let's assume I have root access to the computer.

[O] Upgrade org-mode over a older distribution version
I'm sure this is an FAQ, but I haven't been able to find it. The Org-mode manual says under "Installation", "*If you are using a version of Org that is part of the Emacs distribution or an XEmacs package, please skip this section and go directly to Activation<http://orgmode.org/manual/Activation.html#Activation> ."* The problem is that the distribution version I have, bundled in with the emacs package supplied by openSUSE, is more than a major revision out of date, at least with regard to org-mode. So the question is, what's the proper way to upgrade it without breaking anything by accident? Let's assume I have root access to the computer. Is it as simple as downloading the current org-mode source, running make and all that, and then replacing the existing .elc files in /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org with the new ones? maab -- ==== Michael Baum You should never have your best trousers on when you go out to fight for freedom and truth. - Ibsen
