Hi Henri-Paul, You could define another code block which could be used to take just the last line of the output, e.g., #+source: stuff #+begin_src sh echo 1 echo 2 echo 3 #+end_src #+source: last-of-stuff #+begin_src sh :var input=stuff echo "$input" |tail -1 #+end_src | one | | two | | 3 | #+TBLFM: @3$1='(sbe last-of-stuff) Hope this helps -- Eric > > Thanks, > Henri-Paul -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
