Dear List, a question about \typefile{}. I tried to use \typefile{ /with/an/absolute/path/to/some_file } and failed Message in the log: Verbatim some_file not found. Also tried with no path at all, assuming it will take the file from the current directory. Same result. Do I miss something? Should this work? Or, if not, how can I achieve this effect (typefile with absolute path to a file. btw. on a Linux system) I'm aware of a similar message thread to this list from May 25th, this year. But I didn't feel that it speaks against my comprehension of \typefile ... Thanks! Erik

\starttext \typefile{\jobname.tex} \typefile{/tmp/test.tex} \stoptext work with ConTeXt MkIV 2012.11.16. However, I can confirm that \typefile{/usr/bin/pdf2ps} does not work with context minimals on archlinux, although the texmfcnf.lua file says: ["system.outputmode"] = "restricted", ["system.inputmode"] = "any", Aditya
Hi,
Thanks Aditya!
I tried this again with
\starttext
\typefile{/tmp/xxx.tex}
\stoptext
and could trace what's going on ... (not even /tmp/xxx.tex worked)
The lines below is the trace output belonging to "/tmp/xxx
stat("tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat("tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
I could verify that "tmp/xxx.tex" is actually found!
current version: 2012.11.16 23:51
Anything I can do about that? (I guess I can work with relative paths
below - tested this ...)
Context Version: current version: 2012.11.16 23:51
System: Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
regards
Erik

I just tried a standalone on a xubuntu virtual machine.

On my machine, I can read files **with an extension** from anywhere in the system, but \typefile{...} for a file without an extension results in: verbatims > file abc does not exist Aditya
Compiling the evidence... all I can say is "hmm" == Erik == Version: 2012.11.16 on Linux Absolute path (parent dir): ??? Absolute path (non-parent dir): did not work == Aditya == Version: 2012.11.16 on Linux ["system.outputmode"] = "restricted", ["system.inputmode"] = "any", Absolute path (parent dir): works Absolute path (non-parent dir): works Absolute path (filename has no extension): fails == Hans == Version: ??? on Linux Absolute path (parent dir): works Absolute path (non-parent dir): /?? == Sietse == Version: 2012.11.08 on Linux ["system.outputmode"] = "restricted", ["system.inputmode"] = "any", Absolute path (parent dir): does not work Absolute path (non-parent dir): does not work Relative path: works Absolute or relative path, filename has no extension: does not work. Hmm.
That's interesting. As I could trace, the leading / is removed on my system.
ldd output on my luatex gives (seems not really spectacular):
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffad7ff000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f221f099000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f221ee17000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f221ea8f000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f221f2c1000)
lua -v gives: Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
Though, I have lua5.2 installed in parallel
Any other infos, which might help?

ah .. but it makes sense to be explicit in what you want to be typed (it's not an input file in the sense of a document) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
I think he means files of which the name does not have an extension. I.e. he is trying to type a file called 'xxx', not 'xxx.something'. Example of such a file: the shell script /usr/bin/ps2pdf. Cheers, --Sietse

hopefully fixed in next upload .. btw, testing can best be done with \enabletrackers[resolvers.locating,resolvers.detail] ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
