Yes, I was thinking of something like the following. Rather than create
a new block type, simply add a header argument (or body content) that
(somehow) indicates that we are writing not reading. So for example
writing an Org-mode table into a fresh .rec file would look like the
following.
#+tblname: org-data
| Foo | Bar |
|-----+-----|
| 1 | a |
| 2 | b |
| 3 | c |
| 4 | d |
#+begin_src rec :data something.rec :var data=org-data :write
some rec code to dump data into the rec file...
#+end_src
I like that approach, but I would put the raw rec code into the src
block:
#+begin_src rec :data something.rec :write
Foo: 1
Bar: a
Foo: 2
Bar: b
...
#+end_src
Then use a :table parameter in case we want to insert the contents of a
table:
#+begin_src rec :data something.rec :write :table org-data
#+end_src
I will work on this and will be back as soon as I have something
working. Many thanks for the feedback :)
