Perfect! I added it to my emacs.org just now and I relly like it.

Thanks a lot,

 Thanks - sounds possible? But if I just use

 ,
 | :post (org-time-stamp-inactive)
 `

 1) an input is required and
 2) the time stamp is inserted before the #+begin_src and makes the block
 invalid.

 How can I put the time stamp in the line after the #+end_src or possibly
 even in the same line, as this does not seem to have an impact on the
 source block?

 Thanks,

 Rainer

I modified it a bit so that I get the following time stamp before the
source block. Can the fact that I use #+ cause problems? Because I like
the coloring of the LASTRUN line.

Additional question: if I execute the code block from a preceding
e.g. #+NAME: line which belongs to the code block, the line gets
obviously inserted in front of the code block before.

Is there some org wizardry so that I can search the property #+LASTRUN:
which belongs to the code block and replace or insert it?

Or g=can I somehow jump to the beginning of the code block when I am in
a preceding #+ line?

Thanks,

Rainer

[O] Set or update timestamp after evaluation of code block?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I have some code blocks which represent an sequence of
fitting-analysis-plotting. But Sometimes I am loosing track which code
blocks I have evaluated.

Is it possible to set a timestamp (ur update it when it exists already)
when a code block has been evaluated, so that I have e record when it
was updated?

Thanks,

Rainer

Could you make use of the :post header argument to invoke emacs 
lisp and execute org-time-stamp-inactive in some way?

You could use the :epilogue header argument. Since you want after 
the #+end_src this is rather hackish:


:epilogue (save-excursion (re-search-forward "END_SRC" nil nil 2) 
(org-insert-time-stamp (current-time) t t "\nEvaluated: " "\n"))


It does not update the results, but it will show you all the 
results and when they were evaluated.


If you want to keep only one set of results and do not mind having 
the timestamp before the #+BEGIN_SRC, you could use something 
like:


:epilogue (save-excursion (if (re-search-backward "Last evaluated: 
" nil t) (kill-line 1)) (org-insert-time-stamp (current-time) t t 
"Last evaluated: " "\n"))

Might be nice to have properties attached to result blocks. That is a nice idea.

so picky ;) Maybe something like this will put that stamp in a comment
that won't export.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

  (save-excursion
(re-search-forward "#\\+END_SRC")

  (kill-line))
(insert (concat

 (format-time-string "[%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M:%S]" (current-time))


(add-hook 'org-babel-after-execute-hook
  'j-add-ts)

;(remove-hook 'org-babel-after-execute-hook

Thanks John - that looks nice and I like the idea of using
(current-time) and the possibility to format the time string, but this
info will be part of the export - and I only would like tho have the
info in the org file and not in the exported document.

 Is it possible to set a timestamp (ur update it when it exists
