Hello ConTeXist.
Obviously I have a problem with expansion. My question is:
How can I place the elements of the list into macros for later use?
Basically, my point is that I want assign individual values into macros
within the cycle of and those subsequently used in a buffer to
creating my own report.
Perhaps is can be understood what I want from my minimal example.
Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar
Minimal example:
\let\filename\null
\let\firstname\null
\let\surname\null
\let\city\null
\let\street\null
\let\postcode\null
\def\dosomething#1{#1\par}
\def\loadlistdatatomacros#1,#2,#3,#4,#5 {
\global\def\firstname{#1}
\global\def\surname{#2}
\global\def\town{#3}
\global\def\street{#4}
\global\def\postcode{#5}
}
\startbuffer[mypostbuffer]
\dosomething
% \loadlistdatatomacros
FIRSTNAME: \firstname\par
SURNAME: \surname\par
CITY \city\par
STREET \street\par
POSTCODE \postcode\par
\page
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\processcommalist[
{John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 11500 },
{Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20 },
{Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54 },
]{\getbuffer[mypostbuffer]}
\stoptext

I suggest to use a different method to store and load the data. The first method is to use the database module (you can also use a external file for the data), the other method is the \setvariables command where you can use keys for the entries. Method 1: \usemodule[database] \define[5]\TestCommand {\starttabulate \NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR \NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR \NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR \NC STREET \EQ #4 \NC\NR \NC POSTCODE \EQ #5 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \page} \defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand] \starttext \starttest John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 11500 Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20 Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54 \stoptest \stoptext Method 2: \startsetups[test] \starttabulate \NC FIRSTNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{firstname} \NC\NR \NC SURNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{surname} \NC\NR \NC CITY \EQ \getvariable{test}{city} \NC\NR \NC STREET \EQ \getvariable{test}{street} \NC\NR \NC POSTCODE \EQ \getvariable{test}{postcode} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \page \stopsetups \setvariable{test}{set}{\setups{test}} \starttext \setvariables [test] [firstname=John, surname=Smith, city=Prague, street=Václavské náměstí 20, postcode=11500] \setvariables [test] [firstname=Peter, surname=Paul, city=Brno, street=Nad struhou 232/12, postcode=234 20] \setvariables [test] [firstname=Annie, surname=Walter, city=Ostrava, street=Pod lipami 7, postcode=321 54] \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

After update standalone version of ConTeXt is first database method working OK. You proposed methods are acceptable and comfortable for me. Moreover, it is systemic solutions.
