- One of our local (some part of the) Delaware Valley Tex Users Group members
- asked me to forward this filewriting macro wish:
-
- In a LaTeX Macro I wish to write out a string containg
- a single left brace"{" to a file to be used as input to
- LaTeX at a later time. The closing right brace"}" also
- needs to be written out after several other lines.
-
- How does he do this? He also asks (modifying the letter.sty for envelopes):
-
- The other problem I have is with how to parse a line and determine
- if the last token is a numeric string. (ie a zip code)
- with out knowing if it is the last line of the address.
-
- Thanks,
