Hi,
-- this was only tested with the current git version
I was trying to export a table as a variable to R via babel evaluation. However it seems that is the rows are empty , the exported table ends at the last non-empty value.
For example,the second row of tbl-issue defined below ends with 2 columns [8,9]. The next table however works ok. I've narrowed down the cause to the orgtbl-to-tsv function as highlighted below.
#+NAME: tbl-issue
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| 8 | 9 | | | | |
#+BEGIN_SRC R :session *R* :var df2=tbl-issue :results value ## won't work
print(df2)
#+END_SRC
(orgtbl-to-tsv '( (1 2 #1="" #1# #1# #1# ) ) '(:fmt org-babel-R-quote-tsv-field)) -> "\"1\"<tab>\"2\""
#+NAME: tlb-ok
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| 8 | 9 | | | | 10 |
#+BEGIN_SRC R :session *R* :var df2=tbl-ok :results value # work ok
print(df2)
#+END_SRC
(orgtbl-to-tsv '( (1 2 #1="" #1# #1# #1# 10) ) '(:fmt org-babel-R-quote-tsv-field)) -> "\"1\"<tab>\"2\"<tab><tab><tab><tab><tab>\"1\""
