Hey list,
I am having problems typesetting the following minimal to try and extract the current revision number from my revision control system:
% Bzr revision... \def\initializeBzr {\ctxlua{context("\\global\\edef\\BzrRevision{\%s}", os.resultof"bzr revno | tr -d '\\n'")}} \initializeBzr
\starttex foo \stoptex
The error I receive is:
! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\%'. system > tex > error on line 5 in file minimal.tex: LuaTeX error ...
Line 5 is the \initializeBzr invocation. This was working with TeX Live 2012, but perhaps the correct usage has changed. I am now using ConTeXt 2013.04.11 19:55 with LuaTeX beta-0.76.0-2013041612 (TeX Live 2013) (rev 4627).
use [[ ]] for passing strings and \letterpercent , of do: \ctxlua{context.setxvalue("BzrRevision",os.resultof("bzr revno | tr -d '\string\n'"))} Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
