General ⇒ how to make texcentre works with jabref?

[spiegboy]

I see, thank you very much.
actually it doesnt make too much sense that we have to link the files outside the main file directory,
our discussion is based on the high spirit of research.

Hi,

Code: Select all

\input{"foo bar.tex"}

works for me with TeX Live.

Code: Select all

\begingroup\catcode`~=12\input{foobar~1.tex}\endgroup

works too, but note that this way the ~ will not produce a non-breaking space when used inside foobar~1.tex.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
Test input with white space:
\input{"foo bar.tex"} %this works

Test input with short name:
%\input{foobar~1.tex} %this fails

Test input with short name:
\begingroup\catcode`~=12\input{foobar~1.tex}\endgroup %this works

Test include with white space:
\include{"foo bar.tex"} %this fails but the compilation proceeds

Test include with short name:
%\include{foobar~1.tex} %this fails

Test input with short name:
\begingroup\catcode`~=12\include{foobar~1.tex}\endgroup %this behaves strangely
\end{document}

So, actually only input of quoted file name works entirely properly. Anyway, it's a really bad idea to rely on this behaviour. And I'm not sure if the same holds for TeXLive. Perhaps someone else can test it.

Cheers,

Tomek

Edit: Tested on MiKTeX 2.7

Hi Tomek, I tested your code with TeX-Live 2007 and I can confirm almost all your results: The only difference comes in the last part:

Code: Select all

Test input with short name:
\begingroup\catcode`~=12\include{foobar~1.tex}\endgroup %this behaves strangely

The first run goes OK but the second one generates errors.
