General ⇒ arrayjob no longer works?

[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 314 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.

Hm, can someone else who uses miktex 2.8 check it out?

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
