Hi, I am trying to export a bunch of .org files stored in a directory as latex
files. I have tried two methods:
(1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the bash prompt (I am using OS X):
bash$ emacs --batch
--load=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org.elc
--visit=file.org --funcall org-export-as-latex-batch'
and I get an error:
"Cannot open load file: subst-ksc"
If I can get this to work, then I can embed this system call in a shell script
and call it iteratively on a list of .org files retrieved from, say, Python or
Bash (changing 'file.org' appropriately each time).
(2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I created the following function which is intended to take a filename argument,
load it into a temporary buffer, and export that buffer as a latex file. I
thought to apply (map) this function to a list of file names generated by the
directory-files() function.
(defun orgexpastex (filenm)
(let (buffer-file-name)
(with-temp-buffer
(setq buffer-file-name "test")
(insert-file-contents filenm)
(org-export-as-latex 3)) ;;or (org-export-as-latex-batch))
)
)
But, upon testing this function,
(orgexpastex "file.org")
I get
[-] = =*Backtrace*--------------------------------------------------------------
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if it is obvious to anyone what I am doing wrong, or if there is a
better way to go about exporting a bunch of org files with a program.
Thanks much!
