hi everybody,
has anybody written a function to select the text in a cell of a table?
I needed to write a macro/command, but could not find one. Ideally it
should trim the whitespace in the ends.
Otherwise, I'll just write one.
thank you,
--daniel

If you mean like what ob-ref.el uses to support babel references, yes.
Also see org-table.el.
If you just want support for working with Babel src blocks, see
(info "(org) var")

Check out this earlier thread:

You probably just need the org-table-mark-field definition from that.

thank you both very much. Kaushal, your function is exactly what I
needed.
