Thanks for that! I found the zipping reference and got it to work. Returning now to the example above ("texmfstart texexec --lua --environments=myfile.tex someotherfile.zip"), what I would like to do is using lua in "myfile.tex" to extract the filename to be texed (someotherfile.zip) and rewrite it on the fly to a zip-archive content along the lines of \input zip::someotherfile.zip::somezipcontent.tex
Is that possible? "texmfstart texexec --verbose" produces something like TeXExec | option 'filename' is set to 'someotherfile.tex', so how to access this during processing using lua? texmfstart texexec --lua myfile.tex --arg="name=someotherfile.zip"
mak emyfile.tex your main tex file (use --global if needed) and then use \env{name}
Thanks Hans! Not as elegant as I had hoped, but it does what I want when I use "\input zip::\env{name}::somezipcontent.tex" in myfile.tex ... Now is there any way to define the output-filename from within myfile.tex? This would be analogous to texexec's '--result' option, but from within the texfile to change the output-name with the help of the newly defined '\env{name}' - in the example to '\env{name}.pdf'.
no ... maybe some day Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
