TeX - LaTeX Asked by EVANDSON DANTAS on July 24, 2020
I need to create a list in LaTeX with n people and their respective sex:
adduser[M]{Pedro Jose}
adduser[M]{John Scar}
adduser[F]{Leila Brew}
...
adduser[F]{Larissa Yik}
When I compile it using LaTeX, I want it to produce something like that:
Pedro Jose is Male
John Scar is Male
Leila Brew is Female
...
Larissa Yik is Female
I tried primitive LaTeX repetition functions with a variable separated by ;
, but it does not work. Any idea?
@UPDATE
Steven solved the question.
documentclass{minimal}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
makeatletter
newcommand*userlist{}
newcommand*adduser[2][]
{g@addto@macrouserlist{
#2ifx M#1 is malefiifx F#1 is femalefi.
}}
makeatother
% User's to add
adduser[M]{Pedro Jose}
adduser[M]{John Scar}
adduser[F]{Leila Brew}
adduser[F]{Larissa Yik}
begin{document}
{noindenttextbf{User list:}}%
noindentuserlist
end{document}
I suggest using the datatool-package and maintaining two databases:
This way you can create lists of all users etc even before having a user added.
But you need to compile the document at least twice.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{datatool}
usepackage{atveryend}
newcommandDATABASEFILECreateIfNotExistent[1]{%
DTLifdbexists{#1}{}{%
IfFileExists{jobname.#1}{%
DTLloaddb{#1}{jobname.#1}%
}{%
DTLnewdb{#1}%
}%
}%
DTLifdbexists{#1interim}{}{%
DTLnewdb{#1interim}%
AtEndDocument{%
% This will save the interim-database to file with
% the last shipout. The last shipout is triggered
% by end{document}/enddocument.
DTLsavedb{#1interim}{jobname.#1}%
}%
AfterLastShipout{%
% Check whether the content of the database-token-register
% stemming from the database-file of the previous LaTeX-run
% differs from content of the database-token-register
% stemming from the database-file of the current LaTeX-run.
% If so, something changed and you need to re-run LaTeX.
% Probably this should be omitted with large databases.
