probably some os.execute parsing ...
Do you mean Lua itself does the parsing and substitution? I guessed [lua]tex
core...
When I try to call on the command line:
"
C:\Lukas\ConTeXt\TestDDv>lua
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
os.execute([[lua -e "print 'WWW'"]])
WWW
os.execute([[echo lua -e "print 'WWW'"]])
lua -e "print 'WWW'"
=os.exec
nil
=os.spawn
nil
"
- There is no '/" substitution in standalone Lua (?!).
does os.exec or os.spawn work ok?
Well, the 'os.exec' works, in condition that it is called with "cmd /c":
----
\ctxlua{os.execute([[echo lua -e "print 'EXECUTE'"]])}
\ctxlua{os.exec([[cmd.exe /c echo lua -e "print 'EXEC'"]])}
\ctxlua{os.spawn([[cmd.exe /c echo lua -e "print 'SPAWN'"]])}
\starttext
A
\stoptext
----
Gives:
"
...
languages > language en is active
lua -e "print "EXECUTE""
lua -e "print 'EXEC'"
system | total runtime: 0.609
"
Interesting that the string to be passed to 'os.exec' keeps ' whilst that to
'os.execute' doesn't.
Why this happens?
Anyhow, thanks for the idea with 'os.exec'.
Best regards,
Lukas
