Re: [O] org babel support for tcl and awk

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

Are you aware of the ob-template.el file [1], which can be used as a
jumping off point to simplify the addition of new languages?  After
globally replacing the term "template" with you language name, the only
function that necessarily needs to be re-written is the main
`org-babel-execute:template' function.

I would recommend starting with only non-session based evaluation, and
then slowly adding functionality.  If you run into any specific problems
I am happy to help trouble shoot.

As an example, I've worked up an very simple ob-awk.el file from
ob-template.el, it is attached along with an example org-mode file which
demonstrates its usage.

ob-awk.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp

* example use of ob-awk

Header Arguments
- cmd-line :: command line flags to pass to =awk=
- in-file :: the text file on which to run the resulting =awk= script

Currently only string results are returned directly from STDOUT.

Currently only external (i.e., non-session) evaluation is supported.

#+begin_src awk :in-file columns-of-numbers.txt
  {print $1}
#+end_src

#+results:
: 0
: 1
: 2
: 3
: 4
: 5
: 6
: 7
: 8
