Hello, \openin and \input accept file names in braces (well, as <general text>) while \openout does not: luatex '\immediate \openout 12 = {abc} \end' makes a file named "{abc}.tex" and not "abc". I'm using LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014) (rev 4971). Is this by design or a bug ? Best regards, Bruno

by design (\input is kind of special) .. we could look into alternatives for read/write/open/close when the input scanner is cleaned up (later this year after releasing for tl) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ok. FYI it's not only \input that accepts braced file names, but \openin also. Regards, Bruno
