Two quickies

[Glenn R Williams]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1080 bytes --]

Hi All,

Two quick questions:

1. Is there a variable I can set to have all the temporary work files
   placed in a separate directory for texexec runs?

2. I have a project/product/component structure, and all works fine
   except that in my environment I have an abbreviation file which
   I \input in the environment file. when I try to generate a document 
   from one of the product subdirectories, tex can't find the input 
   file. The envirnment file and the abbreviation file are are in the 
   same directory. A bit like this:

   /main_directory
       tri_env.tex (the environment file)
       tri_abbrev  (the abbreviation file)
       tri_proj    (the project file)
       /product1
          tri_prod.tex (the product file)

I am executing texec from the "product1" directory.

Thanks in advance,

Glenn

Hi All,

I think I expressed my second question badly: what I meant to ask is
this: is there a way to include files other than the standard TeX
\inputcommand? I can easily get the \input in my example to work by
modifying the $TEXINPUTS environmental variable, but I wasn't sure if
that was the "accepted" way....

Thanks,

Glenn

no, although this is on the to do list

btw it is possible to run files that come from an other path, so you can co 
to a temp path, run texexec with --path=sourcepath, and copy the result back

There are several ways to control paths; using \input is a bit dangerous 
since it looks in the current path and in the main tex tree which can lead 
to funny results (loading the wrong files)

There a few ways out:

(1) an ugly one:

\input ../tri_abbrev

(2) since env are taken from . ../ ../../ you can use:

\environment tri_abbrev

given that the file looks like

\startenvironment ...

\stopenvironment

(3) you can also explicitly set the paths to look at (env and components 
and alike) using

\usepath[...,...,...]

or even the recently added:

\usesubpath[...,...,...]

This is typically the control needed for more complex workflows

(4) as a last resort there are commands in supp-fil.tex, like

\readfile
\readlocfile
\readsysfile
