filename

[Thomas Lohmann]

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for a comand to insert the current filename and or path like 
inserting the current date with \currentdate. Any help?

Thanks

Well, I don't think you can do this. You can only get the name of the
main TeX file by using \jobname, but thats all. (Hopefully I didn't
miss some secret.) Different approach: put some info in your file with
a macro like \define\thisfile{/path/to/test.tex}. Or you can put some RCS
information in your file for example.

of course you missed a few secret:

\inputfilename
\outputfilename
\jobfilesuffix

don't look at the code, some catcode mess is involved

OK, I didn't. But the above still gives me the name of the main file
only:

\starttext
\startlines
\inputfilename
\outputfilename
\jobfilesuffix
\stoplines
\input included
\readfile{included}{}{}
\stoptext

and in included.tex:
Included file:
\startlines
\inputfilename
\outputfilename
\jobfilesuffix
\stoplines

gives me:

test.tex
test
tex

Included file:
test.tex
test
tex

Included file:
test.tex
test
tex
