Subject: Getting the filename which is being typeset
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2020 14:45:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <08E58532-4241-4F82-A6F0-90E3D61CEE63@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi everyone,

I have to typeset a few files which get each an input file named in a certain way. For instance, a file named « myfile.tex » in which another file named « myfile-buffer.tex » is used as an \input file, as in

% content of myfile.tex
%%%%%
\starttext
This is a test.

\input myfile-buffer.tex
\stoptext
%%%%%

 When typesetting « myfile.tex » I wonder whether it is possible to get the name of the file without its suffix, that is to get « myfile », with a command such as
\getNameOfCurrentFile
and then be able to replace the above snippet by:

% desired content of myfile.tex
 %%%%%
\starttext
This is a test.

\input \getNameOfCurrentFile-buffer.tex
\stoptext
%%%%%

Best regards and thanks for any hint: Otared K.
