convert a org table to plain text

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

What is the inverse function to 
org-table-convert-region?

I am unable to find anything in the documentation or google.

I tried M-x table-release as suggested by the documentation and did not  
get anything.

Yes, very much so. It would be great to have that code included in
orgmode. Did anybody try to contact the author?

I tried this also, but this is for table.el not for orgmode table. They
have, unfortunately, a slightly different format.

Would be great to merge these two but I presume this would imply quite a
bit of work.

You mean orgtbl-to-tsv and related? All of that *is* part of Org mode. All you have to do is write a code block calling it
to convert.

You can also export to an ascii buffer with  C-c C-e t A
and get the result from there.  Not sure if this is what you want, how
important is it that the results is in the same buffer right away?

Cheers
