Hello!
I am making a cooking book in latex and every recipe is written in an external .tex file. They are all in a separate directory.
Now every time I add a new recipe texfile, I have to \include it in my main.tex file.
Is it possible to \include ALL files at once from the directory with all the recipe files? Something like \include{recipes\*.tex} would be useful.
Thank you!

\include all files from a directory?
Hi,
welcome to the board!
It's easily possible on Linux and Unix systems, since they provide shell commands for listing and parsing directory contents. Some solutions are here:
I guess you use Windows, since you use a backslash in the path, not a slash. That makes it more difficult in my opinion, however you could write a bash file or use any programming language. TeX does not provide many ways for file handling, this is left to the operating system or external tools.
