I want to insert a table from a email (gnus) into org-mode but before it
gets saved it should first be converted.
I can do it manually, copy the ascii table to a org-file:
mark it then use that command:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-make-table ()
"docstring"
(interactive)
(org-table-convert-region (region-beginning)
(region-end) 2))
#+end_src
to convert it to a org-table (2 spaces or more is a seperator)
then use the following to create ledger style transaction:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var mapping=food-name-mapping data=import-table
(let* ((rev-mapping
(mapcar (lambda (x)
(list (nth 1 x) (car x)))
mapping)))
(mapconcat
(lambda (line)
(format "%s \t\t%s St {=€%s}"
(car (assoc-default (nth 1 line) rev-mapping))
(nth 0 line)
(nth 4 line)))
data "\n"))
#+end_src
it uses this mapping table:
#+NAME: food-name-mapping
| expenses:food:vegetable:bananas | Bananas 125g |
| | |
To map the names of the items of the shop to the ones I use in ledger.
First step would be to create a capture that at least imports it as
org-table something like that:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
("K" "import Transaction" plain
(file+function "~/notes/finanzen.org"
(lambda () ""
(progn (org-babel-goto-named-src-block "balance")
(org-babel-goto-src-block-head)(forward-line))))
"%(copy-region-as-kill) %(switch-buffer \"temp-ledger-import\") %(yank)
%(mark-buffer)
%(org-table-create-or-convert-from-region) %(buffer-string)"
:jump-to-captured t
:empty-lines-after 1
:immediate-finish nil)
#+end_src
But I would want to do both convertions before I want to capture it in
the end. Can I do that or do I need to work with org-capture-hooks?
Any suggestions?
