How to call a source code block from another one

How to call a source code block from another one

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

and sorry if this is trivial, but I didn't find it in the manual.

Assume that I have a few source code blocks (in my case, in bash) and
I want to call them in sequence.  Is it possible to write another,
"master" source code block which would then call those previous blocks?

Best,

You could use noweb to include other code blocks in a master one.
You reference other src blocks using <<other-block-name>>.

e.g.
#+begin_src shell :noweb yes
<<block1>>
<<block2>>
#+end_src

where block1 and block2 are shell src blocks as well.

HTH,
eric

Couldn't you use ob noweb for that?

    http://orgmode.org/org.html#noweb

The example here might be close to what you want, if I understand
correctly,

    http://orgmode.org/org.html#noweb_002dref

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
