Dear List,
a question about \typefile{}.
I tried to use \typefile{ /with/an/absolute/path/to/some_file } and failed
Message in the log: Verbatim some_file not found. Also tried with
no path at all, assuming it will take the file from the current directory.
Same result.
Do I miss something? Should this work? Or, if not, how can I achieve
this effect (typefile
with absolute path to a file. btw. on a Linux system)
I'm aware of a similar message thread to this list from May 25th, this year.
But I didn't feel that it speaks against my comprehension of \typefile ...
Thanks!
Erik

I tried this again with \starttext \typefile{/tmp/xxx.tex} \stoptext and could trace what's going on ... (not even /tmp/xxx.tex worked) The lines below is the trace output belonging to "/tmp/xxx stat("tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I could verify that "tmp/xxx.tex" is actually found! current version: 2012.11.16 23:51 Anything I can do about that?
