Hi,
I am trying to save a string to the .tuc file and to retrieve it in the next run. My attempt:
\starttext \startluacode local collected = utilities.storage.allocate() local tobesaved = utilities.storage.allocate()
job.register("job.userdata", tobesaved)
tobesaved["foo"] = "value_foo" tobesaved["bar"] = "value_bar" \stopluacode \stoptext
This leads to the following entry in the .tuc file:
utilitydata.job.userdata={ ["bar"]="value_bar", ["foo"]="value_foo", }
I expected to be able to retrieve the data with e.g. collected["foo"], but the collected table is empty. What is the interface to retrieve the values from the .tuc file? Aditya mentioned that there will be a new interface in this (or the upcoming) beta.
The following works with the current beta, you can find another example in core-dat.mkiv. \definedataset[test-1] \definedataset[test-2] \starttext \setdataset[test-1][x=Value X 1,y=Value Y 1] \setdataset[test-1][x=Value X 2,y=Value Y 2] \setdataset[test-2][a][name=Ben Lee User,job=Manager] \setdataset[test-2][b][title=TeX by Topic] \startlines \datasetvariable{test-1}{1}{x}:\datasetvariable{test-1}{1}{y} \datasetvariable{test-1}{2}{x}:\datasetvariable{test-1}{2}{y} \stoplines Name: \datasetvariable{test-2}{a}{name} \par Job: \datasetvariable{test-2}{a}{job} \par \stoptext Wolfgang
