I have just started using org-mode and org-babel as a lab notebook. I am trying to use a code block to fill in two columns of a table. The code block seems to work for the first column because those are the right numbers. However, when trying to concatenate a string to the file name in column three so the code blocks works on a different set of files it seems to just run the code block on the original files instead, which produces the same output as column one.

#+name: tRNAs
#+begin_src sh :var filename="" :results silent
cd Data/tRNA
grep -c ">" $filename
#+end_src


#+tblname: sequences
| # of Sequences before QC | # after QC | Original File name|
