Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Separate directory for tables, similar to \graphicspath?

[arwintcher]

I'm trying to work out whether I can create a subdirectory for all of my tables and use it in a similar way to \graphicspath, that is, by defining it in the preamble and not having to deal with it again. I have a lot of tables for my thesis and the directory is really cluttered, so it would be nice from an aesthetic point of view if not strictly necessary.

A simple solution would be to define a new command:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*\InputTable[1]{\input{./tables/#1.tex}}

Then you can say

Code: Select all

\InputTable{abc}

to include the contents of the file "./tables/abc.tex".
Another hint: It is generally better to set the TEXINPUTS environment variable instead of using \graphicspath.

Hey, that works really well. Thanks a lot.
