The test using \removepunctuation that you provided does what it should
be doing (it produces 6 instances of "test-test" with the intervening
punctuation mark in each case removed), but it doesn't do what I'm
trying to do in the MWE above. I'm trying to take certain punctuation
marks that follow the \autopuncttest macro and place them before it
instead. Looking at the typo-chr .lua and .mkiv files, I see that there
are \pushpunctuation and \poppunctuationmethods in addition to the
\removepunctuation method. These might be useful for this purpose, but
in any case, I still have to check if the trailing character is one of
the characters in a specified set/string, and this is where the error is
arising.
maybe you're in protected mode
% assumes \protect earlier
\unprotect
\def\autopuncttest#1#2{%
\removeunwantedspaces%
\doifinstring{#2}{,.!?;:}{#2}%
\footnote{#1}%
\doifnotinstring{#2}{,.!?;:}{#2}%
}
\protect
% assumes \unprotect later
or something
\pushcatcodetable \setcatcodetable\ctxcatcodes
\def\autopuncttest#1#2{%
\removeunwantedspaces%
\doifinstring{#2}{,.!?;:}{#2}%
\footnote{#1}%
\doifnotinstring{#2}{,.!?;:}{#2}%
}
\popcatcodetable
