\totalnumberofpages & texexec --pages=1:2

\totalnumberofpages & texexec --pages=1:2

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I use 'texexec --batch --pages=1:2' and "Page \pagenumber\ of 
\totalnumberofpages".

What I get is: "Page 1 of 1" and "Page 2 of 2". I of cause like to see: 
"Page 1 of 2".

Any ideas how to get this?

Tobias

Does "pagenumber\ of \lastpage" help?

No: I still get "Page 1 of 1" and "Page 2 of 2"

I tried now:
  texexec --texutil --runs=2 --batch --pages=1:2
which runs only once (= tex once and then texutil once).

If one then manually runs texexec again (same options) it finally shows 
"Page 1 of 3".

so there is a problem with your file (missing structure?)

Well, the problem is that the file is longer (e.g. three pages with a 
long less interesting log) than I want to have it (one sheet/2 pages); 
thus I use --pages=1:2, which seems to interfer with multiple runs 
(--pages seems to cause an implicit --once).
Otherwise, if I run without --pages it works fine.

in that case:

\the\numexpr\lastpage-2\relax

may help
