Hello!
I'm trying to automate a document production: I want to typeset two
different tables from the same source, so I imagine something like this:
\def\ITEM#1#2 {\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR
\immediate\write\auxfile{\string\NITEM{#1}{#2}}}
\def\NITEM#1#2{\bTABLE \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE}
\immediate\openou\auxfile = iii.ttt
\bTABLE
\ITEM {asda} {aadasda}
\ITEM {adasd} {adfafsd}
\eTABLE
\immediate\closeout\auxfile
\input iii.ttt
This code generates an interesting error missing \endcsname ..??...
How can I do this thing??

you need to allocate a file slot
\newwrite\auxfile
[btw, context provides: \scratchwrite and \scratchread]

\'a la ConTeXt:
\starttext
\startbuffer[again]
\ITEM {asda} {aadasda}
\ITEM {adasd} {adfafsd}
\stopbuffer
\def\ITEM#1#2{\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR}
\bTABLE
\getbuffer[again]
\eTABLE
\def\ITEM#1#2{\bTABLE \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE}
\getbuffer[again]
\stoptext
