Override Job Name and Write Terminal Output to Zip (C#)

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore how to override the job name and write terminal output to a ZIP file using Aspose.TeX for .NET. Aspose.TeX is a powerful library that allows developers to work with TeX documents in their .NET applications. In this particular example, we will focus on a common task – writing terminal output to a ZIP file with the ability to override the job name.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:

  • A working knowledge of C#
  • Aspose.TeX for .NET installed
  • Input ZIP archive for the working directory
  • Output ZIP archive for terminal output

Import Namespaces

Before diving into the code, make sure to include the necessary namespaces in your C# project:

using Aspose.TeX.IO;
using Aspose.TeX.Presentation.Pdf;
using System.IO;

Now, let’s break down the example into multiple steps to guide you through the process.

Step 1: Open Input and Output ZIP Streams

using (Stream inZipStream = File.Open(Path.Combine("Your Input Directory", "zip-in.zip"), FileMode.Open))
using (Stream outZipStream = File.Open(Path.Combine("Your Output Directory", "terminal-out-to-zip.zip"), FileMode.Create))
{
    // Code for step 1 goes here
}

Step 2: Set Conversion Options

TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectTeX());
options.JobName = "terminal-output-to-zip";
options.InputWorkingDirectory = new InputZipDirectory(inZipStream, "in");
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputZipDirectory(outZipStream);
options.TerminalOut = new OutputFileTerminal(options.OutputWorkingDirectory);

Step 3: Define Saving Options

options.SaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

Step 4: Run the TeX Job

new TeXJob("hello-world", new PdfDevice(), options).Run();

Step 5: Finalize Output ZIP Archive

((OutputZipDirectory)options.OutputWorkingDirectory).Finish();

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to override the job name and write terminal output to a ZIP file using Aspose.TeX for .NET. This technique can be incredibly useful when dealing with TeX documents in your C# applications.
