TeX - LaTeX Asked on March 27, 2021
Question
How do I handle the extraction of the .tex
file (as described below) to a flat csv (with format below) ?
Context
I created all my MCQ with exam
. However, exams are now 100% online… (sigh)
My LaTeX file has the basic following format
documentclass[12pt]{exam}
begin{document}
begin{questions}
question What is the answer ?
begin{oneparchoices}
choice 70
choice 75
choice $80 times Delta$
CorrectChoice 85
choice None of the above
end{oneparchoices}
end{questions}
end{document}
I need now to provide a csv where the questions of the MCQ above would be displayed like (Incorrect,Correct, just to be clear ?
question,answer1,Cor/Inc,answer2,Cor/Inc,answer3,Cor/Inc ,answer4,Cor/Inc,answer5,Cor/Inc
And it would render like
What is the answer ?,70,Inc,75,Inc,"$80 times Delta$",Inc,85,Cor,None of the above,Inc
Each line would obviously be a new question.
What could correspond so far
I found something interesting in python, but I am more open to a solution than a type of programming.
I see the principle for environment between begin
and end
thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11054008/extract-figures-from-latex-file
infile = open('MCQ.tex', 'r')
outfile = open('FlattenMCQ.csv', 'w')
extract_block = False
for line in infile:
if 'begin{questions}' in line:
extract_block = True
if extract_block:
outfile.write(line)
if 'end{questions}' in line:
extract_block = False
outfile.write("------------------------------------------nn")
infile.close()
outfile.close()
Where I am stuck
The recurisivity to test first begin{questions}
then question
then begin{oneparchoices}
then choice
or CorrectChoice
NB : I posted initially this question there SE but probably makes more sense here.
