Hi all,

the ruby version of texexec is missing some command line switches I have been using. I'm missing --result (however, I could live without that) and especially --mode and --passon. Are there any workarounds?

Apparently I'm a bit mistaken: --mode is working. --result is not. None is listed in texexec --help.

strange, since

texexec test --result=oeps

just works here. Do others have similar problems with --result?

oeps works here (yesterdays beta) texmfstart texexec --autopdf --result=oeps test Peter

Hans

I haven't noticed problems with those. But could you post a short test file and the full command line that you use? Then I can test it here (running Linux, not sure if that's what you are running).

I'm also running linux. Complete typescript follows.

I'm not sure if your command got mangled by the mailer disliking long lines, but it looks like you have this line:

ralf@schrotti:~/tmp$ ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb texexec t.tex -- result bla.pdf

i.e. something like "texexec t.tex -- result bla.pdf"

it was texexec t.tex --result bla.pdf (i.e. without the space between -- and result).

The texexec man entry, I think for the perl version, says:

--result=FILENAME Allows you to change the basename of the output file. See --mode for an example.

And this command works:

texexec t.tex --result=bla

same here. the equal sign was missing from my command line (the perl version works without an equal sign).

Although at the end it says:

TeXExec | renaming t to bla TeXExec | restoring t TeXExec | fatal error No such file or directory - t.tuo

Is the last line anything to worry about, perhaps in a more complex test file that needed the .tuo file?

By the way, I use these two executable scripts to shorten the command lines:

$ cat /home/sanjoy/bin/texmfstart #!/bin/bash ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` "$@"

$ cat /home/sanjoy/bin/texexec #!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.rb "$@"

Thanks, I'm using them too, but I remember there was some confusion about "$@" versus $@ in this command.

"$@" is correct. $@ passes on arguments one word at a time whereas "$@" will wrap each argument in quotes. I know that's a cloudy explanation, so here's an example of the difference. If you have a filename with spaces (gah!) like "abc def.tex", then texexec "abc def.tex" will execute (with "$@") texmfstart texexec.rb "abc def.tex" # good whereas using $@ it would execute texmfstart texexec.rb abc def.tex # not good! -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
