It looks like you are trying to achieve precise control over how ob-shell interprets the evaluation result. Note that you can always force :results scalar to interpret the output as string. Otherwise, Org mode tries to guess the output format. Since bash does not have a notion of table output, Org's guess is arbitrary - split multiline result string by line assuming whitespace as field separator. So, this is not a bug. Canceled. To parse the result as table using custom rules, you can use :post header argument + custom src block that parser the output string as you need. We might consider making ob-shell output handling smarter, as a feature request. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
