Re: [NTG-context] \processcommalist and load values into macros.

Hello Wolfgang. There is any problem in first method. I get message "Nested tabulate is not (yet) supported". Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is problematic example: \usemodule[database] \define[5]\TestCommand {\starttabulate \NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR \NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR \NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR \NC STREET \EQ #4 \NC\NR \NC POSTCODE \EQ #5 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \page} \define[5]\TestOtherCommand{#1, #2, #3, #4, #5\par} \defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand] \defineseparatedlist[othertest][command=\TestOtherCommand] \starttext Method 1: \starttest John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 115 00 Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20 Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54 \stoptest \startothertest John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 115 00 Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20 Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54 \stopothertest \stoptext Dne 4.6.2013 19:34, Wolfgang Schuster napsal(a):

Hello ConTeXist. Obviously I have a problem with expansion. My question is: How can I place the elements of the list into macros for later use? Basically, my point is that I want assign individual values into macros within the cycle of ​​and those subsequently used in a buffer to creating my own report. Perhaps is can be understood what I want from my minimal example.

I suggest to use a different method to store and load the data. The first method is to use the database module (you can also use a external file for the data), the other method is the \setvariables command where you can use keys for the entries.

Method 1:

\usemodule[database]

\define[5]\TestCommand {\starttabulate \NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR \NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR \NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR \NC STREET \EQ #4 \NC\NR \NC POSTCODE \EQ #5 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \page}

\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]

\starttext

\starttest John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 11500 Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20 Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54 \stoptest

\stoptext

Method 2:

\startsetups[test]

\starttabulate \NC FIRSTNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{firstname} \NC\NR \NC SURNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{surname} \NC\NR \NC CITY \EQ \getvariable{test}{city} \NC\NR \NC STREET \EQ \getvariable{test}{street} \NC\NR \NC POSTCODE \EQ \getvariable{test}{postcode} \NC\NR \stoptabulate

\page

\stopsetups

\setvariable{test}{set}{\setups{test}}

\starttext

\setvariables [test] [firstname=John, surname=Smith, city=Prague, street=Václavské náměstí 20, postcode=11500]

\setvariables [test] [firstname=Peter, surname=Paul, city=Brno, street=Nad struhou 232/12, postcode=234 20]

\setvariables [test] [firstname=Annie, surname=Walter, city=Ostrava, street=Pod lipami 7, postcode=321 54]

\stoptext
