Hi Hans,

ctxtools --purge file.tex does not behave the same as ctxtools --purge file (no extension). This causes texexec --purge filename to misbehave.

With ctxtools --purge test-04.tex I get

f:\tmp\context\test>ctxtools --purge test-04.tex CtxTools | purging temporary files : test-04.tex CtxTools | checking files that match 'test-04.tex-*.*' CtxTools | checking files that match 'test-04.tex.*' CtxTools | removed files : 0 CtxTools | kept files : 0 CtxTools | persistent files : 0 CtxTools | reclaimed bytes : 0

which does not delete the temp files. However with ctxtools --purge test-04 the temp files are deleted.

f:\tmp\context\test>ctxtools --purge test-04 CtxTools | purging temporary files : test-04 CtxTools | checking files that match 'test-04-*.*' CtxTools | checking files that match 'test-04.*' CtxTools | removed : test-04-mpgraph.mp CtxTools | removed : test-04.tui CtxTools | removed : test-04.log CtxTools | removed : test-04.tmp CtxTools | not removed : test-04.tuo CtxTools | removed files : 4 CtxTools | kept files : 1 CtxTools | persistent files : 0 CtxTools | reclaimed bytes : 23960

Shouldn't both the commands be equivalent. As a consequence of this, texexec --purge does not delete temp files. I get

CtxTools | purging temporary files : test-04.tex CtxTools | checking files that match 'test-04.tex-*.*' CtxTools | checking files that match 'test-04.tex.*' CtxTools | removed : mpgraph.mp CtxTools | removed files : 1 CtxTools | kept files : 0 CtxTools | persistent files : 0 CtxTools | reclaimed bytes : 6

Only mpgraph.mp is removed.

you can play with this (nosuf): at the top: require 'base/file' and in the purge method: report("purging#{if purgeall then ' all' end} temporary files : #{pattern.join(' ')}") pattern.each do |pat| nosuf = File.unsuffixed(pat) globbed = if recurse then "**/#{nosuf}-*.*" else "#{nosuf}-*.*" end report("checking files that match '#{globbed}'") files = Dir.glob(globbed) globbed = if recurse then "**/#{nosuf}.*" else "#{nosuf}.*" end report("checking files that match '#{globbed}'") files.push(Dir.glob(globbed)) end ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
