A call to scan_toks (pdf_scan_ext_toks) at that moment will incorporate that partial string to the argument of the `convert' primitive, and erase it from the output. Example code: \message{\pdfmdfivesum{knuth}} \input knuth\pdfmdfivesum{} \bye Affected primitives: \pdfescapestring \pdfescapename \pdfescapehex \pdfunescapehex \pdffilemoddate \pdffilesize \pdffiledump \pdfmdfivesum \pdfstrcmp The needed fix: Somewhen before calling scan_pdf_ext_toks, you have to store the partial string as a true tex string, then its `partialness' has to be restored sometime later before leaving conv_toks(). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=496&aid=609&group_id=106
