Subject: Re: generate multiple files from one source

Hello Pablo,
I am using a new calling of ConTeXt ie. compile new source code from the main source code. It is possible due \executesystemcommand macro. Necessary parameters You can pass to new compiling source. For example:

\executesystemcommand{context --result invoice-\cA.pdf --arguments = "cA = \cA" servingfile.tex}.  

This possibility create a particular PDF file for recipient \cA. 

PS 2Pablo only: This option is possible with handleCSV module. The possibility of using handleCSV module I will publish to GitLab repository as soon as possible - today or tomorrow. I was very busy this weekend.

    Dear list,
    
    I have the following sample:
    
        \setuppapersize[A8, landscape]
        \starttext
        \dorecurse{10}{
        \startpagemakeup[align=center]
        This is invoice number \recurselevel.
    
        Customer name from CSV file.
    
        Other data from the same CSV file.
        \stoppagemakeup}
        \stoptext
    
    How can I get new PDF documents with a one invoice per document instead
    of new page breaks?
    
    I need PDF documents with only one invoice (but with the correct number)
    and also a single PDF document with all invoices.
    
    Of course, my real documents are more complex. What I need is a file
    breaking command. Appending -1, -2, -3... -n to the PDF file name would
    be fine for me.
    
    How could I achieve this in the ConTeXt compilation?
    
    Many thanks for your help,
    
    Pablo
