Creating documents in a batch file

Creating documents in a batch file

[Wolfgang Miurth]

Hi,

I tried to find out how to create pdf files from multiple sources in a batch file, but I 
could not find a solution. Always after the first document the batch files ends and no 
further documents are created. 

My Windows batch file looked like this (Every student has his own pdf file):

>setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
>call C:\Programme\context\tex\setuptex.bat  C:\Programme\context
>mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_1.tex
>mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_2.tex
>mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_3.tex
>mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_4.tex

I also tried texexec but without success.

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks for your help.

Wolfgang Murth

put call in front:

call mtxrun.cmd ....

or run:

mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_*.tex

Thank you. Both version work. The problem was obviously between chair and keybord.

With greetings from Austria
