Subject: How to refer to remote table, in another file, as a source block variable?
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2020 15:27:20 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.2008071518410.16224@shell.miskatonic.org> (raw)
I can't figure this one out. Let's say I have a table in an Org file, like so:
# -----
* Primes
#+NAME: test_table
| number | prime |
|--------+-------|
| two | yes |
| three | yes |
| four | no |
# -----
In another file, I want to bring this table into a source block as a variable.
If it was the same file, I'd say ":var t=test_table" and that's that. But
what's the syntax for a different file? I can't figure it out from the docs [1]
and none of my attempts with quotes, file:, etc. work. It's something like
this, isn't it? But what?
#+begin_src R :var t=(remote(table.org::*Primes))
t
#+end_src
Thanks,
Bill
