How to do the following eludes me.

Inside macro -processing read into a buffer the following part of the input \startmyinput ...\stopmyinput

Analogous to input containing \startbuffer[mystoragebuffer] \startmyinput ... \stopmyinput \stopbuffer

but now not executed at once, but stored in and executable from a buffer with \getbuffer[mystoragebuffer].

\setbuffer[foo]bar\endbuffer

But of course there might be a better way to execute the same code more than once within one run of TeX.

for that to answer you need to give more info ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
