I don't understand how =(3, 6)= can be the output of =3 y=... The strange thing is that this doesn't work at all for me (with git as of a few minutes ago): I still get the error message : byte-code: Bad format in variable contents: Expected a number However, if I put the vector in double quotes, it works: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src calc :var y="[1 2 3]" 3 y #+end_src #+results: : [3, 6, 9] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- *but* if I subsequently remove the double quotes, it doesn't work and if put them back, it no longer works either. I am confused... there's like a hysteresis loop in org babel :( Any suggestions on how to debug this are welcome, of course. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.553.g83b7.dirty) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
