arrayjob no longer works?

Post by lalop »

When I recently tried my old algorithm, it came up with strange errors. I think I managed to trace it to this minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{arrayjob}
	
\newarray\arrayname
\readarray{arrayname}{carg&Ma&place}

\begin{document}
  Foo
\end{document}
Does this work for you guys? I get some very significant errors, which I don't think were there before (I'm using Miktex 2.8). For some reason, it tries to add a $ at the \readarray line, and then after that totally messes up. The entire log is:
vorticontest.log
(8.42 KiB) Downloaded 302 times
When I have other packages as well, it sometimes runs for minutes with no sign of stopping, and I have to end task pdflatex.

Hi,

your code works OK in my system; I'm not using MiKTeX, but TeX Live2009, though.

Works smoothly under MiKTeX 2.8 with most current package versions. With the \listfiles command as very first line in the sample code I obtain the below list of used files.

Code: Select all

 *File List*
 article.cls    2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
  size10.clo    2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)
arrayjob.sty    2000/05/03 v1.03 Array management
 ***********

Best regards
Thorsten
