I need to dynamically input a proper .tex file into my document. I wrote the following code that works only if instead of "realyearseason" I explicitly write 2019. Inside the input all new defined commands work, but the command that has one argument (which is realyear) makes the document not to compile (error is "Argument of filename@simplehas an extra }"). Why is that? How to overcome this issue?



def myfolder ../../../../../trial
def season Spring
def yearstart2018
def yearfinish2019

newcommandrealyear[1]%
 ifthenelseequaldetokenize#1detokenizeSpring

You need an expandable option for returning yearstart or yearfinish. Here's an option:



defseasonSpring
defyearstart2018
defyearfinish2019

newcommandrealyear[1]%
 ifnumpdfstrcmp#1Spring=0
 yearstart
 else
 yearfinish
 fi

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
