\doifelse{\jobname}{a} {yes}{no}
I get "no" as in TeX and "yes" with Lua, being "a.tex" the source file.
The TeX conditional used to work before.
Are you sure the check worked in the past?
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I thought this used to work before. Now I realize I have to check the use of \doif{\jobname} and \doifelse{\jobname} in all my documents.
The content of \jobname has catcode 12 while you "a" you check against has catcode 11, and even when \jobname result in "a" they are different because the catcodes differ.
I see now. Not that I fully understand what catcodes are, but \doifsamestringelse should be what I have used here (as suggested in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Branches_and_Decisions#.5Cdoifs...). Just a final question: \doif compares both strings and catcodes and \doifsamestring compares only strings. Or am I missing something here too. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
