Mptopdf batch

[David Arnold]

All,

I am wondering why this only compiles one file. How can I compile  
section3figs-mpgraph.# of #=1-7 in one command?

figures $ ls
figlibSection1.xml              section3figs-mpgraph.log
figlibSection2.xml              section3figs-mpgraph.mp
figlibSection3.xml              section3figs-mpgraph.mpo
junk5.tex                       section3figs-mpgraph.mpt
mpgraph.mp                      section3figs-mpgraph.mpx
mptrace.tmp                     section3figs.log
section1figs.tex                section3figs.pdf
section2figs.tex                section3figs.tex
section3figs-mpgraph-1.pdf      section3figs.tmp
section3figs-mpgraph.1          section3figs.tui
section3figs-mpgraph.2          section3figs.tuo
section3figs-mpgraph.3          tmpgraph-mpgraph.mp
section3figs-mpgraph.4          tmpgraph.bck
section3figs-mpgraph.5          tmpgraph.log
section3figs-mpgraph.6          tmpgraph.tmp
section3figs-mpgraph.7          tmpgraph.tui

Good question. I would do:

  $ for a in section3figs-mpgraph.[0-9]+; do mptopdf $a; done

but that only works on unixy systems. A multi-file option for mptopdf
would be nice.

I am pretty sure it used to work that way. I can remember compiling  
with something like:

mptopdf filename.*

I double-checked. This works:

   $ mptopdf 'filename.*'

because mptopdf expands the pattern itself.

I've make a one-line change so the quotes are no longer needed:

   40c40
   < my $pattern = $ARGV[0] ;
   ---
   > my $pattern = "@ARGV" ;

Should be a harmless change.
