Is there a way to instruct
\typefile to ignore the last four lines of the outputfile? I assume
defining an alternative command which does just that is not too
difficult, but sadly beyond me.
It seems, that it's not possible at the moment. There is a tracker item
for this feature: http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=475
Not hard to do, just no interface. We can change buffers.range so that it
accepts {1,-4} to mean from first to last-4 lines, and then just set
\typefile[lines={1,-4}]{filename}
In any case, it is easy to define a lua function that does this.
\startluacode
function buffers.stripfromend(name, count)
local str = buffers.loaddata(name)
if str and str~= "" then
local lines = str:splitlines()
local line, n, action = 0, 0, buffers.typeline
local first, last, m = buffers.strip(lines)
last = last - count
m = m - count
for i=first,last do
n, line = action(lines[i], n, m, line)
end
end
end
\stopluacode
\unprotect
\def\strippedtyping#1#2% count file
{\begingroup
\tttf
\let\obs\specialobeyedspace
\ctxlua{buffers.stripfromend(\!!bs#2\!!es, #1)}
\endgraf
\endgroup}
\protect
\starttext
\strippedtyping{4}{filename}
\stoptext
To use this with t-filter, you can just say
readcommand=\strippedtyping{4},
