Hi,
Thank you Hans... but it doesn't fully work. Now I only enter the input
once (that's ok) but on the second run, the variable is not defined
anymore. How can I keep it in the conTeXt memory?
-- Minimum still not working example
local name
if environment.arguments.currentrun == "1" then io.read() end
context.startdocument()
context("Hello " .. name)
context.stopdocument()
All the best
You can use the LUA interface "job.passes".
In the first pass, you store your value. For example:
local passdata = job.passes.define("mystuff") --I usually define this at
the top of my script and reuse it.
passdata["somevalue"] = "hello world";
Then in the subsequent runs you can access
local lastpassdata = job.passes.getcollected("mystuff") --Same here...
print(lastpassdata["somevalue"])
Best regards,
Andreas
