data tables produced by shell source block

data tables produced by shell source block

[Ken Mankoff]

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.

Ohp. Nevermind. Sorry for the noise. I have a default of ":results
output", and when I set ":results value" it works.

  -k.

Aloha Ken,

Running emacs -Q, initialized to point to an up-to-date Org mode, this
works for me.

I evaluate this source code block so babel recognizes shell source code
blocks:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(org-babel-do-load-languages
 'org-babel-load-languages
 '((sh . t)))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| (sh . t) |

Then run the directories source code block to get this:

#+RESULTS: directories
|       184 | Documents                  |
|    548528 | Downloads                  |
|   3852088 | Library                    |
|  10208696 | Mail                       |
|         0 | Movies                     |
...

Perhaps you have something in an initialization file?

hth,
Tom
