Re: [help-recutils] rec2csv --delim question

[Jose E. Marchesi]

    Using shell command in emacs, rec2csv --delim=| Testrec.rec

You probably need to scape that `|' for the shell:
$ rec2csv --delim=\| Testrec.rec

    I use emacs orgmode and converting the records to values separated by
    a | would make life a little easier to create tables.

Did you look at ob-rec.el?  It adds support to org-babel to understand
REC blocks with queries, like:


#+begin_src rec :data foo.rec
   
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| foo | bar |
|-----+-----|
| bar | baz |
| je  | ji  |

Between #+begin_src and #+end_src you can specify a selection
expression.  C-cc-c in the src block will update the table with the
results.
