I would like to define a command, which would be called in the following way:
\TheBossWantsTheWorkToBeDoneOn[monday,wednesday,thursday]{tidy up}
so that it would be equivalent to:
\WeHaveToDo[monday]{tidy up}
\WeHaveToDo[wednesday]{tidy up}
\WeHaveToDo[thursday]{tidy up}
I played a bit with different variants of \processcommalist, but I
can't figure out how to use it in this particular case.
The trick is to store the tidy up inside the processing command,
like so:
\def\WeHaveToDo[#1]#2{\message{(#1: #2)}}
\def\TheBossWantsTheWorkToBeDoneOn[#1]#2%
{\begingroup
\def\processitem##1{\WeHaveToDo[##1]{#2}}%
\processcommalist[#1]\processitem
\endgroup }
\TheBossWantsTheWorkToBeDoneOn[monday,wednesday,thursday]{tidy up}
Great, thanks Taco! It works. It seems easier than I thought, but I
could have spent hours looking for the proper solution alone.
Actually, there is an easier way to do this; just swap the arguments to
WeHaveToDo:
\def\TheBossWantsTheWorkToBeDoneOn[#1]#2%
{\processcommalist[#1]{\WeHaveToDo{#2}}}
\def\WeHaveToDo#1#2{(#2: #1)}
\starttext
\TheBossWantsTheWorkToBeDoneOn[monday,wednesday,thursday]{tidy up}
\stoptext
btw, nice thread for a wiki entry
I hope this will land in the t-rsteps module (\OnSteps[1,2,3,6]{...}).
Is there also a possibility to define a command like
\IHaveToDoTheTasks[1-4,7,9-11]{until tomorrow}
There was not, but knowing Hans I trust that soon there will be :-).
hm, well, it does rain outside, but ...
