Hi,
Thank you Hans... but it doesn't fully work. Now I only enter the input once (that's ok) but on the second run, the variable is not defined anymore. How can I keep it in the conTeXt memory?
-- Minimum still not working example local name if environment.arguments.currentrun == "1" then io.read() end context.startdocument() context("Hello " .. name) context.stopdocument()
All the best
You can use the LUA interface "job.passes". In the first pass, you store your value. For example: local passdata = job.passes.define("mystuff") --I usually define this at the top of my script and reuse it. passdata["somevalue"] = "hello world"; Then in the subsequent runs you can access local lastpassdata = job.passes.getcollected("mystuff") --Same here... print(lastpassdata["somevalue"]) Best regards, Andreas
