hi eric,
the object is to make the code inside a babel shell block as similar
to a real shell script as possible. also, calling it using #+call
should be like calling it from another shell script.
this isn't possible in babel at present.
the script cannot use "$@" for its positional parameters.

How about this.
#+name: list
#+begin_src sh :var files="" :results verbatim
IFS="
"
for file in $files;do
echo "-|$file|-"
done
#+end_src
#+call: list("
thanks for the examples, but they don't meet my needs as tables for
each set of arguments would be too unwieldy.
what would be ideal is to allow setting noweb expansions in the call
line (instead of requiring named blocks to provide the expansion).
i.e. it is similar to setting a var, but is a now

hi eric,
say you want to list 2 files: "1 space" and "nospace".
#+call: list(how="\"1 space\" nospace")
#+name: list
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :noweb yes :results verbatim output
{
# this fails
# ls $how

} 2>&1
Use org-babel-expand-block (C-c C-v v) to view the code block with the
variable expansion.
Best,

i don't know why the shell does not unquote here:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim output :var how="a 'b' \c \"d\" e"
:var dothis="echo \"hi\""
echo $how
$dothis
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
a 'b' c "d" e
"hi"

thanks.
