Dear list,
using current latest (2022.10.22 11:23), I have the following sample:
\starttext
\doifelse{\jobname}{a}
{yes}{no}
\jobname
\startluacode
if tex.jobname == "a" then
context("yes")
else
context("no")
end
\stopluacode
\stoptext
I get "no" as in TeX and "yes" with Lua, being "a.tex" the source file.
The TeX conditional used to work before.
Am I missing something or have I hit a bug?
I’m on Linux64 (if this may be relevant).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Are you sure the check worked in the past?
The content of \jobname has catcode 12 while you "a" you check against
has catcode 11, and even when \jobname result in "a" they are different
because the catcodes differ.
You can see the same result in the example below where the second check
compares two a with different catcodes (11 and 12) while the first check
has the same catcode (11) for both a's.
\starttext
\edef\A{a}
\edef\B{a}
\ifx\A\B
yes
\else
no
\fi
\begingroup
\catcode`a=12
\gdef\B{a}
\endgroup
\ifx\A\B
yes
\else
no
\fi
\stoptext
Wolfgang

More relevan tis that you'r on TeX where catcodes matter
(here letter vs other)
\doifelse{\inputfilebarename}{oeps}
{yes}{no}
\doifelse{\detokenize\expandafter{\jobname}}{\detokenize{oeps}}
{yes}{no}

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I thought this used to work before.
Now I realize I have to check the use of \doif{\jobname} and
\doifelse{\jobname} in all my documents.

I see now. Not that I fully understand what catcodes are, but
\doifsamestringelse should be what I have used here (as suggested in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Branches_and_Decisions#.5Cdoifsamestringelse.2C.5Cdoifsamestring.2C.5Cdoifnotsamestring).
Just a final question: \doif compares both strings and catcodes and
\doifsamestring compares only strings. Or am I missing something here too.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Many thanks for your explanation, Hans.
I think I have to start studying basic notions in TeX.
Many thanks for your help again,
Pablo
