Subject: TBLFM trying to create an infinite number of lines
Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2022 20:41:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2zTa6DZP2X4XgNcATJ5SszRQPZRoFqQwKxMGTtl6-qtMw9ycjqbSRHmqjwXQRKwFHOPK-ThmFkYmOwu9Wf6JVvihTSHm7a2VIt3bgFJ2Exk=@palard.fr> (raw)

Hi,

I was playing with the idea of calling subprocesses from TBLFM (good idea or not)...

...and found that:

    |  |
    #+TBLFM: $1='(shell-command-to-string "echo 42")

Tries to build an infinitly long table (I have to interrupt it with C-g).

While:

    |  |
    #+TBLFM: $1=42

Which looks the same to my eyes behave cleanly by just updating the single line.

Is that a bug or did I misunderstood something?

I'm using Org 9.5.5 on emacs 28.2 on Debian.
