How to add directory to input path?

How to add directory to input path?

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

I bet that I have already asked that, but I don't find or remember the
answer. I would like to add some folders to TeX search path. Let's say
that I have:
    main.tex
    sub/include1.tex

and would like to use "\input include1.tex" inside main.tex without
having to specify full path, in the same way as
\setupexternalfigures[directory=...] can be used. I have tried
\usedirectory, \usepath, \usesubpath, but neither works. Well ...
actually \usepath works in mkiv, but not in mkii. If I use \usepath
then \allinputpaths gets the folder I have specified, but it doesn't
seem to work.

Thanks,
    Mojca

\usepath[sub]

\component include1

Thanks. So basically there's no way to convince \input to work
"properly" (that is: respecting some additional input path) in mkii?
(In mkiv it seems to work, but it could be that that's just because it
interacts with its own "kpathsea".)

But then I have another question. I actually wanted to use that inside
a module (gnuplot) that uses something like

    \processmyfile[#1][#2]{
        ....
        \readlocfile{#2}{}{}
        ....
    }

I wish I remembered why I decided for \readlocfile (I guess it was for
error handling that is still waiting to be implemented). How should I
change the module in this particular case? (What should I use instead
of \readlocfile, so that the file will be found?)

Thank you,
    Mojca

The question is should \input kn MkIV behave like it did in MkII
or should it take subdirectories into account.

What behaviour do you want?

I would expect when I load a file it should found in the current  
directory
or the TeX tree but not in subdirectories, when you want to take  
subdirectory
searching I would use something like

\setupgnuplot[directory={,myplots/}]

\def\inputgnuplotfile#1%
   {\!!donefalse
    \def\doinputgnuplotfile##1%
      {\doiffileelse{##1#1}
         {\readlocalfile{##1#1}{}{}\!!donetrue\quitcommalist}
         {\!!donefalse}}
    \processcommacommand[\gnuplotparameter{directory}] 
\doinputgnuplotfile
    \!!ifdone\message{gnuplot}{...}\else\message{gnuplot}{file #1 not  
found}\fi}

I see no serious reason speaking against that.

Hmmm ... that's not a bad idea either.

Thank you very much. I'll build this into the module. I can actually still use
    \processcommacommand[,\gnuplotparameter{directory},\allinputpaths]
with your code :) :) :)

there is:

\input tree://whaterver/**/somefile.tex
