Re: [NTG-context] \write \getvariable and expansion

Hi,

Can someone explain what should be the correct order of expansion here. I want to enter the date entered as a variable to a file.

\setvariables [test] [date={d=11,m=11,y=2006}]

\starttext

The date entered was \expanded{\date[\getvariable{test}{date}]}.

\immediate\openout \scratchwrite test-001 \immediate\write \scratchwrite {The date entered was} % None of these work.

The best you can get is: \immediate\write\scratchwrite{\noexpand\date[\getvariable{test}{date}]} (The variable is expanded, but \date is not) Greetings, Taco
