General ⇒ PackageWarning: a dumb's question

[NinV]

Hi,

please forgive me for this question

How can I insert the value of a counter in a warning message using \PackageWarning?

I tried this:

Code: Select all

 \newcount\totkete
 \totkete=0

 ... omissis ...

 \ifnum\totkete<64
  \PackageWarning{mypack}
  {The quantity isn't enough: \totkete}
 \else
  \ifnum\totkete>64
   \PackageWarning{mypack}
   {The quantity is too high: \totkete}
  \fi
\fi

But it doesn't work.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Nino

You can't use a count (or any other register) directly, except in very particular circumstances. Convert it into its value using \the.

Code: Select all

\ifnum\totkete<64\relax
  \PackageWarning{mypack}
  {The quantity isn't enough: \the\totkete}
\else
  \ifnum\totkete>64\relax
   \PackageWarning{mypack}
   {The quantity is too high: \the\totkete}
  \fi
\fi

I forgot that!

Thank you very much.
