Dear list,
I have a minimal sample file:
\starttext
\insertpages[\env{PDFdocument}]
\stoptext
I invoke it in Windows, using the following batch file:
@echo off
REM ~ context --purgeall --arguments="PDFdocument=%1" b.tex
I’m afraid it only works if the batch file and the PDF document are on
the same directory.
I guess this is related to "\" in Windows paths. Is there a way to make
it work with the sample above?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Did you try with / paths? They usually work on Windows, no need for \s

Many thanks for your reply, Hraban.
I wish I could do that. I get the paths from a Windows .bat file.
I drop PDF docuemnts to the .bat file, this is the reason I get the
paths with backslashes.
I use something like that:
for %%A in (%*) do (
context --purgeall --arguments="PDFDoc={%%~A} b.tex
)
But to replace backslashes with slashes, I would need something like this:
for %%A in (%*) do (
context --purgeall --arguments="PDFDoc={%%%~A:\=/%} b.tex
)
But that prevents the batch file from working at all.
I don’t know whether there is a workaround for this.
Many thanks for you help,
Pablo

Hello Pablo,
sometimes I do something hacky like the following in similar situations
(not tested now):
---- .bat
call lua.exe -e "os.execute('echo context --purgeall
--arguments=PDFdocument=' .. ([[%1]]):gsub([[\]], '/') .. ' b.tex')"
----
Best regards,
Lukas

Hello Pablo,
slight correction:
---- .bat
call lua.exe -e "os.execute('echo context --purgeall
--arguments=PDFdocument=' .. ([[%1]]):gsub([[\]], '/') .. ' b.tex')"
----
"echo" should be omitted, of course, or be placed just for debugging
purposes.
Best regards,
Lukas

Many thanks for your reply, Lukas.
I found another workaround at the ConTeXt file (b.tex).
\cldcontext{string.gsub([[\env{PDFdocument}]], "\\\\", "/")}
I don’t know why I needed to add "\\\\" instead of "\\". (otherwise, I
kept getting "C://Users//username//Desktop//document.pdf" and similar ones).
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

I guess that's as Ctx translates "\\" into "\", and you need to have
"\\" in Lua code.
You could alse write (not tested):
\cldcontext{string.gsub([[\env{PDFdocument}]], [[\\]], "/")}
