Hi.

At the outset, I understand that this is a slight abuse of LuaTeX and
this can be done with plain TeX. Nevertheless, I'd like to see if a
solution exists for this approach.

I'm trying to use Lua with ConTeXt as a macro preprocessor. To be more
clear, I have files A.lua, B.lua which define some variables:

A.lua:
var1 = "something for a"
var2 = "something else for a"

B.lua:
var1 = "something for b"
var2 = "something else for b"

And, in my ConTeXt file, I would write:

I will get \directlua{tex.print(var1) and \directlua{tex.print(var2)}.


Now, with lualatex, I use the --lua command line option to pass the
initial lua file name. However, for context, I've not found a way to
do this. Could someone please advise me?
