Re: extract a region from a table and export it

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

can you write a little code block that filters the table for what you
want, and then convert that to a pdf?

Something like:


#+tblname: data
| 1 | a |
| 2 | r |
| 5 | 7 |
| 4 | 9 |
| 8 | y |

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var d=data
(orgtbl-to-csv (-filter (lambda (x) (and (> (car x) 2) (< (car x) 8))) d) nil)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: 5,7
: 4,9

or, rows 0, 1 and 4.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var d=data
(loop for i in '(0 1 4) collect (elt d i))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| 1 | a |
| 2 | r |
| 8 | y |
