Dear Karl,

I read your posts and I must say that in any way they have offended
me.

thanks for your remark, Augustin.

If anyone (besides David) feels offended by my posts, please let me know.
I don't want to offend anyone, but as you all have probably noticed, I'm
not very good at speaking English, so I may use words that can offend
someone.
I don't have any problem to unsubscribe from the list, since I don't
have anythink to ask there (maybe I can help someone?).

Best regards to all.

Assuming that this is the location of your bib file try:

PATH="C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.9\bibtex\bib\Peterbib;%O;%P;%p;%@('BIBINPUTS');"

and don't forget to load the modified script.

\cite{} will work properly once the bib file can be located (it
should not have a question mark in the tree). I am not aware of
any problems with this functionality. As long as bib file can be
found in one of the directories specified in the PATH it works
like a charm.

In fact, you could just add your custom location in Execution
Modes| Variables (BIBINPUTS) without having to modify Input.ini
(since %@('BIBINPUTS'); is already included in the default PATH).

It is not a common (or good?) practice to put bib (or any other
personal data) files inside Program Files directory and you must
have changed some permissions to be allowed to do so on Vista or
Win7. Make sure that files are actually there and not in Virtual
Store which could cause further problems.

Best regards,

At the moment selections cannot retain highlighted colors because
it never crossed my mind to provide an option for that (and this
is not the behavior of Windows applications that I am personally
familiar with). However, it is absolutely trivial to allow such
selections now that we know that some users may prefer it this
way...

For the next version you can specify

         TEXT_COLOR=-2

and that means NO text color is associated with this selection
mode. It is even possible to do the same for BACKGROUND_COLOR=-2
should one wish to do so.

Alex,

Thank you very much indeed for your advice. Although it has not worked, I have
tried a few experiments -

1. Putting PATH="C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.9\bibtex\bib\Peterbib;%O;%P;%p;%@('BIBINPUTS');"
into input.ini made no difference. I pressed the "Save" button after making the
change, but maybe that was not what you meant by "don't forget to load the
modified script"?

2. Putting the path into Execution Modes| Variables (BIBINPUTS) also made no
difference. I just put C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\bibtex\bib\Peterbib without
any other syntax. Was that right?

3. If I move the .bib file to the directory used for the .tex file, then \cite
works OK and the question mark in the tree disappears. BiBTeX works too. But
that is *not* a convenient place to keep the .bib file.

4. If I put the .bib file anywhere other than (a) with the .tex file or (b)
within MiXTeX, BiBTeX stops working because MiXTeX cannot find it when I run
"Refresh Filename Database".

By the way, the MiXTeX people clearly expect .bib files to be kept within MiXTeX
- odd though it may seem - as there is a section of their directory tree
specifically for .bib files and another for .bst files. I think this started
with version 2.8, or it might have been earlier. Furthermore, if one does not
follow this convention, BiBTeX fails (see above).

Yes, we got horribly confused by Virtual Store when MiXTeX changed, and we had
to start keeping .bib files in the programme area! The problems were eventually
resolved by using "Run as Administrator" with both WinEdt and MiXTeX - now
standard advice from our IT people and followed throughout this Department.

So I remain baffled and rather frustrated - if you have any other thoughts,
please advise.

Best wishes and thanks again,

Peter.

No that's not what I meant. In Help check the section on Options
Interface and you will learn how to use it. This is from the
relevant Help:

IMPORTANT: After you make changes to a particular script you
should use the Load Command (the first button in the Option
Interface Toolbar) to make the changes effective immediately. It
is not necessary to restart WinEdt. In fact, no scripts are loaded
at startup: the compiled raw data is stored in WinEdt.dnt (Do Not
Touch). This reduces the startup time and reduces the likelihood
of error messages during startup.

> 2. Putting the path into Execution Modes| Variables (BIBINPUTS)
> also made no difference. I just put C:\Program Files\MiKTeX

You must also enable the checkbox in front so that WinEdt actually
initializes this variable. After you press apply you should see
the correct value in the readonly control below the definition.

Do you see this value if you execute:

Prompt("%@('BIBINPUTS');");

In Macros -> Define and Run Macro interface?

As for the rest:

I never run WinEdt as administrator (it is not necessary) and I
can put my bib files anywhere I want as long as BIBINPUTS
environment variable contains this folder. Both WinEdt and BibTeX
will find bib files that are located in any folder listed in
BIBINPUTS variable (with MiKTeX 2.9 or TeX Live). Using execution
modes to initialize this variable is the simplest way (although it
could be done through Windows Control Panel as well).

By the way, WinEdt 7 has much better documentation than WinEdt 6
and all this (and more) is actually explained in Help inside
Execution Modes| Variables (or Index) even though strictly
speaking it is not a WinEdt issue... You can mention this to your
IT people once you sort-out Running as Administrator issue (a bad
advice if I may say so).

I really have nothing else to add. If it still doesn't work I have
to give up...

Best regards,

alex

Alex,

You were of course correct - I was indeed doing something wrong! All is now
"ship-shape"... So thank you again for your patience. Two final questions, if I
may -

1. You castigate us for using "Run as Administrator", but MiXTeX apparently
*expects* the .bib files to kept in the MiXTeX 2.9\bibtex\bib area prepared for
them. As far as I can see, it is then necessary to use WinEdt in Run as
Administrator mode in order to edit .bib files there (as otherwise one is
apparently editing something virtual). Do you agree?

2. You have shown me how to move my .bib files out of the programme area, which
is excellent. But can I also do the same with my .bst files (many of which are
also personal files)?

Best wishes and thanks again,

Peter.

MiKTeX offers you the ability to create your own TDS, that is, TeX
Directory Structure. I would recommend that your local BiB files be
placed there rather than in the MiKTeX TDS. [For example, create a root
directory, say, \TDS and put your BiB files into \TDS\bibtex\bib. Then
execute the MiKTeX Options command, list \TDS as a root directory and
refresh the FNDB.] Then updates to MiKTeX will not affect your local
files. This use is similar to the WinEdt split between %B and %b.

However, I have found that WinEdt doesn't seem to find files in a local
\TDS directory even when I specify the path in environment variables.
Perhaps there is an access issue.

Roman beat me to it.  But in re his "access issue" ...

I'm still using WinEdt 6, but I don't experience any such problems.  On
the machine I'm using now I have BIBINPUTS set to:

%@('userprofile');/texmf/bibtex/bib;%@('programfiles');/MikTeX
2.9/bibtex/bib/ieeetran;

(set in WinEdt using WinEdt Options/Execution Modes/Variables).

I can see files in the local TDS tree
(%@('userprofile');/texmf/bibtex/bib) and also in the MikTeX installation
tree (%@('programfiles');/MikTeX 2.9/bibtex/bib).  I don't think I did
anything special to make that happen. I'm using a restricted account under
Windows 7 Starter.

Hi
Hope the \usepackage{} command is present in the file and .bst file is present in the folder along with bib and tex files.

1. If I press "Set main file", \cite{} does not work at all.

2. If I press "Remove main file", \cite{} does work, but very slowly, because the system concatenates an alphabetical list of entries from *all* my .bib files, rather than just the one specified in my .tex document.

3. The left-hand panel (tree) lists correctly the name of my specified .bib file, below the .tex file, but with a "?" to show it cannot find it.

4. So I tried changing line 67 of input.ini to

PATH="%O;%P;%p;%@('BIBINPUTS');C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\bibtex\bib\Peterbib"

to provide the path to the directory. It made no difference.


Suggestions will be much appreciated!

Roman beat me to it.  But in re his "access issue" ...

I'm still using WinEdt 6, but I don't experience any such problems.  On the
machine I'm using now I have BIBINPUTS set to:

%@('userprofile');/texmf/bibtex/bib;%@('programfiles');/MikTeX
2.9/bibtex/bib/ieeetran;

(set in WinEdt using WinEdt Options/Execution Modes/Variables).

I can see files in the local TDS tree
(%@('userprofile');/texmf/bibtex/bib) and also in the MikTeX installation tree
(%@('programfiles');/MikTeX 2.9/bibtex/bib).  I don't think I did anything
special to make that happen. I'm using a restricted account under Windows 7
Starter.

Simon

> MiKTeX offers you the ability to create your own TDS, that is, TeX
Directory Structure. I would recommend that your local BiB files be placed there
rather than in the MiKTeX TDS. [For example, create a root directory, say, \TDS
and put your BiB files into \TDS\bibtex\bib. Then execute the MiKTeX Options
command, list \TDS as a root directory and refresh the FNDB.] Then updates to
MiKTeX will not affect your local files. This use is similar to the WinEdt split
between %B and %b.
However, I have found that WinEdt doesn't seem to find files in a local \TDS
directory even when I specify the path in environment variables.
Perhaps there is an access issue.

Subject: Help Writing Macro for LaTeXdiff
james.douglas.melton@...
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello all, I am hoping someone can help me (an inexperienced macro
writer) with a macro that I am trying to write for WinEdt 5.5 begin run
on a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium (Service Pack 1).  Basically, I am
trying to write a macro that automates the use of latexdiff, a program
used to analyze the differences between two .tex files.  Normally, one
would need to do the following to run latexdiff (after downloading the
program and Perl):

1.  open the command prompt
2. enter the following:  latexdiff file1.tex file2.tex>  diff.tex
3.  open the diff.tex file
4.  compile the .tex file to create a .pdf

I want to write a macro that automates this process.  Here is the code I
wrote:

Browse(0,"TeX|*.tex|All Files|*.*","%p");
GetFileName("%!0", 0);
SetFolder("%p");
Run('latexdiff.exe "%n.tex" "%!0.tex">  "%n_track.tex"','%p');
Open("%n_track.tex");
Exe('%b\Exec\MikTeX\PDFTeXify.edt');

There seems to be a problem with the run command.  When I run the macro,
I get the following error:  "2 and only 2 non-option arguments
required.  Write latexdiff -h to get help".  This is the error latexdiff
gives when the there are more than or less than 2 files listed to
compare (i.e. if I type just "latexdiff" or "latexdiff file1.tex
file2.tex file3.tex" at the command line), which leads me to believe
that there is something wrong with this part of the run command:
"%n.tex" "%!0.tex">  "%n_track.tex" (note that I have also tried the
command without the quotes around the file names and using only single
quotes around the file names).  The problem is that I do not know how to
fix it.  Any help the members of this list can provide would be greatly
appreciated!  Thanks!

James

NOTE:  For time being, I wrote the following two macros, which work when
pasting the command copied to the clipboard into the opened command line:

latexdiff.edt:
Browse(0,"TeX|*.tex|All Files|*.*","%p");
GetFileName("%!0", 0);
SetFolder("%p");
CopyToClipboard("latexdiff.exe %n.tex %!0.tex>  %n_track.tex",0);
Run('%$("CMD");','%!P',0,0,'%$("CMDTitle");',1,1);

opendiff.edt:
SetFolder("%p");
Open("%n_track.tex");
Exe('%b\Exec\MikTeX\PDFTeXify.edt');

James,

There is nothing wrong with Run macro. However, you cannot use
cmd.exe (Command Prompt) syntax (< or >) to redirect input or
output. Thus

   Run('latexdiff.exe "%n.tex" "%!0.tex"> "%n_track.tex"','%p');

will not work! The > portion only works if it is interpreted by
cmd.exe directly...

Furthermore, you should also specify Wait for Execution to Finish
parameter to properly synchronize the execution sequence.

You have three options:

1. use WinExe macro that can redirect output. This is a bit more
complicated but documented in Help and it will work if done
properly. I'll skip the details as I don't have latexdiff.exe and
I don't have WinEdt 5.5 on this machine either.

2. Write a batch file that executes latexdiff.exe within command
prompt (with the command that you use in cmd.exe) and use Run
macro (with Wait parameter set to 1) to execute this batch file
instead of latexdiff.exe directly:

Run('latexdiff.bat "%n" "%!0"','%p', 0,0,"",0,0,1);

Help lists all parameters for Run or WinExe. Your batch file will
need two parameters that will be seen as %1 and %2 inside its
command line. That's all...

3. Check cmd.exe /? (to learn what switches you can pass to
Windows command prompt) and then you can try something like:

   Run('cmd.exe /C latexdiff.exe "%n.tex" "%!0.tex"> "%n_track.tex"','%p');

Best regards,

alex

Thanks for your help Alex! 

When I get a chance, I will submit the macro to WinEdt.org for others to use.  In the meantime, here is the resulting macro:

IfStr("%t",".tex","=","",'CMD("Open...");');
Browse(0,"TeX|*.tex|All Files|*.*","%p");
GetFileName("%!0", 0);
Run('cmd.exe /C latexdiff.exe %!0.tex %n.tex > %n_diff.tex','%p',0,0,"",0,0,1);
Open("%p\%n_diff.tex");
Exe('%b\Exec\MikTeX\PDFTeXify.edt');

For those of you unfamiliar with the macro language, here is what it does:

1)  finds the "new" version of the file, either the active tab (in WinEdt 5.5) or, if a .tex file is not the active tab, then the Open... command is run
2) browses for the "old" version of the file
(Note that the old and new versions of the file should be in the same directory, which is fine for the way I handle file versions but may not work well for others.  I tried to relax this requirement but received an error.)
3) runs latexdiff
4) opens the resulting _diff.tex file
5) executes PDFTeXify

Best,

James

Gyorgy,

I guess your dictionary is in the Program Files folder (like e.g.
C:\Program files (x86)\WinEdt Team\WinEdt 7\Dict)? In Windows 7 there
are some restrictions for the program folders, so you might want to put
the dictionaries you want to modify in your personal documents folder or
some other folder where you have write permissions.

Best regards
Hanno

Probably, if you start WinEdt with a right-click, and then "Run as
