I am using a command line parameter to change the generated output. Is it also possible to set the output file name depending on the parameter?

--result=somename

That is on the command line. Then you need to give two parameters. Not a very big problem, but I would prefer one parameter. I like DRY. Less that can go wrong.

not possible but you can access the outputfilename at the tex and lua end

What do mean with that?

just grep for outputfile in lua and mkiv files

I have now (I need to use jobfilename, because I get an error when I use outputfilename): \def\outputfilename{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}} \def\outputfilenametwo{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}} When displaying outputfilenametwo I see that it is filled with the correct value, but the output is still written to the same file. -- Cecil Westerhof -- Cecil Westerhof

I have now (I need to use jobfilename, because I get an error when I use outputfilename): \def\outputfilename{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}} \def\outputfilenametwo{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}

When displaying outputfilenametwo I see that it is filled with the correct value, but the output is still written to the same file.

The following script does what I want: #!/usr/bin/env bash set -o errexit set -o nounset declare -r DEFAULT=cecil declare -r DIR=${HOME}/Documenten/CV declare -r FILE=CV-Cecil-Westerhof declare -r SCRIPTNAME=$(basename ${0}) declare RESULT declare TYPE if [[ ${#} -ge 1 ]] ; then TYPE=${1}; shift else TYPE=${DEFAULT} fi readonly TYPE if [[ ${#} -ne 0 ]] ; then echo "USAGE: ${SCRIPTNAME} [TYPE]" exit 1 fi cd ${DIR} RESULT=${FILE} if [[ ${TYPE} != ${DEFAULT} ]] ; then RESULT+=-${TYPE} fi readonly RESULT context --CVType=${TYPE} --result=${RESULT} CV-Cecil-Westerhof There is only one problem. If I first generate the default one and after that a specific one, the default one does not exist anymore. I suppose that when --result is used, first the pdf with the same name as the tex file is generated and then moved. A little nuisance, but I can live with it. -- Cecil Westerhof

The following script does what I want: #!/usr/bin/env bash

set -o errexit set -o nounset

declare -r DEFAULT=cecil declare -r DIR=${HOME}/Documenten/CV declare -r FILE=CV-Cecil-Westerhof declare -r SCRIPTNAME=$(basename ${0})

declare RESULT declare TYPE

if [[ ${#} -ge 1 ]] ; then TYPE=${1}; shift else TYPE=${DEFAULT} fi readonly TYPE

if [[ ${#} -ne 0 ]] ; then echo "USAGE: ${SCRIPTNAME} [TYPE]" exit 1 fi

cd ${DIR} RESULT=${FILE} if [[ ${TYPE} != ${DEFAULT} ]] ; then RESULT+=-${TYPE} fi readonly RESULT

context --CVType=${TYPE} --result=${RESULT} CV-Cecil-Westerhof

There is only one problem. If I first generate the default one and after that a specific one, the default one does not exist anymore. I suppose that when --result is used, first the pdf with the same name as the tex file is generated and then moved. A little nuisance, but I can live with it.

That can be solved by renaming the tex-file to CV.tex. The script is now: #!/usr/bin/env bash set -o errexit set -o nounset declare -r DEFAULT=cecil declare -r DIR=${HOME}/Documenten/CV declare -r FILE=CV declare -r SCRIPTNAME=$(basename ${0}) declare RESULT=CV-Cecil-Westerhof declare TYPE if [[ ${#} -ge 1 ]] ; then TYPE=${1}; shift else TYPE=${DEFAULT} fi readonly TYPE if [[ ${#} -ne 0 ]] ; then echo "USAGE: ${SCRIPTNAME} [TYPE]" exit 1 fi cd ${DIR} if [[ ${TYPE} != ${DEFAULT} ]] ; then RESULT+=-${TYPE} fi readonly RESULT context --CVType=${TYPE} --result=${RESULT} ${FILE} -- Cecil Westerhof

Nope, when the parameter is cecil, I want to add nothing. Also I am a little paranoid, so I want the script to not execute when there are to many parameters.

I already went around it. But it would not hurt to report it. -- Cecil Westerhof
