[NTG-context] calling texmfstart from perl in context distribution

30 Jul 2006

      All,

I have cdwincontext installed and I am trying to run texmfstart from  
a perl script on windows. I tried associating file extension .rb with  
the ruby that comes with the context distro.

Am I missing something here?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $os;
if ($^O =~ /darwin/i || $^O =~ /linux/i) {
	$os = 'nix';
} else {
	$os = 'win';
}

my $TMS;
if ($os eq 'nix') {
	$TMS='/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ 
texmfstart.rb';
} elsif ($os eq 'win') {
	$TMS = 'c:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\scripts\context 
\ruby\texmfstart.rb';
}

opendir my $dirH, '.';
while ($_ = readdir $dirH) {
	next if $_ =~ /^\.+/;
	next unless $_ =~ /^section\d+figs\.tex$/;
	for my $run ('first','second') {
		print "Processing file $_ ($run run)\n";
		`$TMS texexec $_`;
	}
}
closedir $dirH;
