Hello,
The sample below has 2 problems I cannot find the solution for:
I am reading a table from a CSV file and want to typeset it via \xtable.
The xtable as defined below works, it splits over several pages, but the
header does not repeat. I have seen examples in the mailing list where
people put the "\startxtable.....\stopxtable" within a \placefigure, but
as soon as I try this, I get an error message: "missing } or endgroup",
although I doublechecked the "}" and I see no error.
The other issue I have: Since xtable requires me to read the header line
separately in order to put it between \startxtablehead and
\stopxtablehead, I access the csv buffer twice: the first time, I only
read the first line, and the second time, I read starting from the
second line. My problem here is that I do not know beforehand the number
of lines in the csv file. So in my second \doloopfromto I give the
second argument a number high enough to be sure it reads all the lines.
It works fine, but I would like to know if there is a way to read the
number of lines in the csv file to use the exact number of lines,
instead of guessing.
