I have a function, pivot-table-get-columns (shorthanded as pt-get-columns). Its job is to take an #OrgMode table and produce an alist of mappings of column names to column numbers. The column names are as defined by section 3.5.10 of the org-mode manual.
Edit: I've been beating my head against a wall for some time on this getting nowhere and less than a minute after asking this, I see it. My first unless should be a when. I'll fix it later.
what does org table source look like by the way? I normally pass org tables into org source blocks (where they become s-expressions in lisp), but I'm not sure what the tables look like internally to org.
further about eq in common lisp at least, I've seen people make a mistake before- when you compile code, if you referred to "" twice, in common lisp compilers are allowed to coalesce them at which point they /will/ be eq. (Eq would be a good test to see if they /had/ been coalesced). But in the general case two strings entered in different places are not eq.

When I pass this function a table without column labels, it crashes on the
formatline (which it shouldn't even be reaching).Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •actually, I'm unaware of
(setq result (((format "%s" cell) . n) . result))
being a permissable form. It looks like
(setq result `((,(format "%s" cell) . ,n) . ,result))
to me but I might be wrong. Does it fix the problem or did you have another insight?
