Hi,
Can someone explain what should be the correct order of expansion
here. I want to enter the date entered as a variable to a file.
\setvariables
[test]
[date={d=11,m=11,y=2006}]
\starttext
The date entered was \expanded{\date[\getvariable{test}{date}]}.
\immediate\openout \scratchwrite test-001
\immediate\write \scratchwrite {The date entered was}
% None of these work.
% \immediate\write \scratchwrite {\expanded{\date[\getvariable{test}{date}]}}
% \expanded{\immediate\write \scratchwrite \date[\getvariable{test}{date}]}}
\immediate\closeout\scratchwrite
\stoptext
Thanks,
Aditya
