When no file can be %D found, the \type{\input} primitive gives an error message %D and switches to interactive mode. The macro \type{\readfile} %D takes care of non||existing files. This macro has two faces. %D %D \starttyping %D \ReadFile {filename} %D \readfile {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D \stoptyping %D %D Many \TEX\ implementations have laid out some strategy for %D locating files. This can lead to unexpected results, %D especially when one loads files that are not found in the %D current directory. Let's give an example of this. In %D \CONTEXT\ illustrations can be defined in an external file. %D The resizing macro first looks if an illustration is defined %D in the local definitions file. When no such file is found, %D it searches for a global file and when this file is not %D found either, the illustration itself is scanned for %D dimensions. One can imagine what happens if an adapted, %D localy stored illustration, is scaled according to %D dimensions stored somewhere else. %D %D When some \TEX\ implementation starts looking for a file, it %D normally first looks in the current directory. When no file %D is found, \TEX\ starts searching on the path where format %D and|/|or style files are stored. Depending on the implementation %D this can considerably slow down processing speed. %D %D In \CONTEXT, we support a project||wise ordening of files. %D In such an approach it seems feasible to store common files %D in a lower directory. When for instance searching for a %D general layout file, we therefore have to backtrack. %D %D These three considerations have lead to a more advanced %D approach for loading files. %D %D We first present an earlier implementation of %D \type{\readfile}. This command backtracks parent %D directories, upto a predefined level. Users can change this %D level (on the commandline using a directive); we default to~3. %D %D We use \type{\normalinput} instead of \type{\input} %D because we want to be able to redefine the original %D \type{\input} when needed, for instance when loading third %D party libraries. \let\readfilename\empty \def\syst_files_read_file#protocol#path#name% #true #false {\edef\readfilename{\clf_getreadfilename{#protocol}{#path}{#name}}% \ifx\readfilename\empty \expandafter\secondoftwoarguments \else \expandafter\syst_files_read_file_indeed \fi} \def\syst_files_read_file_indeed#true#false% {#true% \relax \normalinput{\readfilename}% \relax} %D \macros %D {readjobfile,readlocfile,readsysfile, %D readfixfile,readsetfile} %D %D This implementation honnors the third situation, but we %D still can get unwanted files loaded and/or can get involved %D in extensive searching. %D %D Due to different needs, we decided to offer four alternative %D loading commands. With \type{\readjobfile} we load a local %D file and do no backtracking, while \type{\readlocfile} %D backtracks~\number\maxreadlevel\ directories, including the current %D one. %D %D System files can be anywhere and therefore %D \type{\readsysfile} is not bound to the current directory %D and obeys the \TEX\ implementation. %D %D Of the last two, \type{\readfixfile} searches on the %D directory specified and backtracks too, while %D \type{\readsetfile} does only search on the specified path. %D %D The most liberal is \type {\readfile}. \unexpanded\def\readjobfile #name{\syst_files_read_file{job} {.}{#name}} % current path, no backtracking \unexpanded\def\readlocfile #name{\syst_files_read_file{loc} {.}{#name}} % current path, backtracking \unexpanded\def\readsysfile #name{\syst_files_read_file{sys} {.}{#name}} % current path, obeys tex search \unexpanded\def\readfixfile#path#name{\syst_files_read_file{fix}{#path}{#name}} % specified path, backtracking \unexpanded\def\readsetfile#path#name{\syst_files_read_file{set}{#path}{#name}} % specified path, no backtracking \unexpanded\def\readfile #name{\syst_files_read_file{any} {.}{#name}} \unexpanded\def\ReadFile #name{\syst_files_read_file{any} {.}{#name}\donothing\donothing} %D So now we've got ourselves five file loading commands: %D %D \starttyping %D \readfile {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D %D \readjobfile {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D \readlocfile {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D \readfixfile {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D \readsysfile {directory} {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D \stoptyping \unexpanded\def\readtexfile#name#true#false% {\pushcatcodetable \catcodetable\ctxcatcodes \readfile{#name}{#true}{#false}% \popcatcodetable} \unexpanded\def\readxmlfile#name#true#false% {\pushcatcodetable \catcodetable\xmlcatcodes \readfile{#name}{#true}{#false}% \popcatcodetable} %D \macros %D {doiflocfileelse,locfilename} %D %D \starttyping %D \doiflocfileelse {filename} {before loading} {not found} %D \stoptyping \unexpanded\def\doifelselocfile#name{\clf_doifelselocfile{#name}} \def\locfilename #name{\clf_locfilename {#name}} \let\doiflocfileelse\doifelselocfile \protect \endinput
