Hi, list! :D
I've found \applytosplitstringwordspaced and many other commands reading on
the mailing list and TeX StackExchange. An issue with those is: the
following does not work:
\applytosplitstringwordspaced\somemacro{\input knuth}
It only works with explicit TeX "words". How to circumvent this
inconvenience? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jairo :)

You can't feed knuth.tex to the command because it contains multiple
paragraphs but even when your file contains only a single paragraph it
isn't perfect because the linebreak after the last line contains as
extra word (seen in the first paragraph below).
To use \input as argument for \applytosplitstringwordspaced you need a
few \expandafter's to ensure the file is read before the argument is
passed to Lua. A easier method is to move everything to Lua where you
read the file and put it in a string, afterward you can use the CLD
mechanism to call \applytosplitstringwordspaced from Lua.
\unexpanded\def\somemacro#1{[#1]}
\starttext
\expandafter\applytosplitstringwordspaced\expandafter\somemacro\expandafter{\input
weisman }
\blank
\startluacode
-- local ward = io.loaddata(resolvers.findfile("ward.tex"))
local ward = string.fullstrip(io.loaddata(resolvers.findfile("ward.tex")))
context.applytosplitstringwordspaced ( "\\somemacro", ward )
\stopluacode
\stoptext

just a remark: knuth.tex is tricky becauss it also has \TeX and \ and
such, so one needs to escape it, as in:
context.applytosplitstringwordspaced (
"\\somemacro",
context.escape(ward)
)

Thank you very much! Something else happens:
\applytosplitstringwordspaced\somemacro{Content and {\tt typewriter} more
content}
either ignores braced groups or ignores macros AND prints braces "{" and
"}" as if it were in verbatim mode depending on the content being on the
document or loaded via Lua, even when context.escape is used. How to keep
{\it braced content}? Thank you in advance.
Jairo :)
