Hello ConTeXist.
Obviously I have a problem with expansion. My question is:
How can I place the elements of the list into macros for later use?
Basically, my point is that I want assign individual values into macros
within the cycle of and those subsequently used in a buffer to creating my
own report.
Perhaps is can be understood what I want from my minimal example.
I suggest to use a different method to store and load the data. The first method
is to use the database module (you can also use a external file for the data),
the other method is the \setvariables command where you can use keys for
the entries.
Method 1:
\usemodule[database]
\define[5]\TestCommand
{\starttabulate
\NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR
\NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR
\NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR
\NC STREET\EQ #4 \NC\NR
\NC POSTCODE \EQ #5 \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\page}
\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]
\starttext
\starttest
John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 11500
Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20
Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54
\stoptest
\stoptext
Method 2:
\startsetups[test]
\starttabulate
\NC FIRSTNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{firstname} \NC\NR
\NC SURNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{surname} \NC\NR
\NC CITY \EQ \getvariable{test}{city} \NC\NR
\NC STREET\EQ \getvariable{test}{street}\NC\NR
\NC POSTCODE \EQ \getvariable{test}{postcode} \NC\NR

Re: [NTG-context] \processcommalist and load values into macros.
Hello Wolfgang.
There is any problem in first method.
I get message Nested tabulate is not (yet) supported.
Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar
Here is problematic example:
\usemodule[database]
\define[5]\TestCommand
{\starttabulate
\NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR
\NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR
\NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR

\stoptabulate
\page}
\define[5]\TestOtherCommand{#1, #2, #3, #4, #5\par}
\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]
\defineseparatedlist[othertest][command=\TestOtherCommand]

Method 1:
\starttest

Re: [NTG-context] \processcommalist and load values into macros.
Thanx Wolfgang very much. After update standalone version of ConTeXt is first database method working OK. You proposed methods are acceptable and comfortable for me. Moreover, it is systemic solutions. Thanks very much for the reply and for the inspiration.
