Of course, but it won't be possible the next 10 days, so be patient.

Hi Peter,
Not the \input command, but the end-of-line in the inputted file
is creating the space, indirectly. TeX normally appends a character
with the current value of \endlinechar to each line of an input-ed
file, and that character is later converted to a space.
Setting \endlinechar to -1 tem
Hello,
\input seems to introduce a space. Example:
\starttext
\immediate\write18{echo -n X >bla.tex}
X\input bla\relax X
\stoptext
How could I get rid of this space?
Cheers, Peter
