I'm trying to create a dynamic for loop:
\def\forinmacro{{a,b,c,d}}
\iftb{SomeBool}{\def\forinmacro{{a}}}
\foreach \m in \forinmacro {...}
Note if I change the last line to
\foreach \m in {a,b,c,d} {...}
it works.
Unfortunately the comma's seem to screw up the foreach and it gives errors(changing a,b,c,d to a lets it work).
Why is \def\forinmacro{{a,b,c,d}} breaking the foreach but \def\forinmacro{{a}} not?
You need to remove the extra braces.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\usepackage{xparse, ifthen}
\DeclareDocumentCommand\iftb{m m G{\relax}}{\ifthenelse{\boolean{#1}}{#2}{#3}}
\begin{document}
\newboolean{SomeBool}\setboolean{SomeBool}{true}
\iftb{SomeBool}{\def\forinmacro{a}}
\foreach \m in \forinmacro {This is letter : \m\par}
\def\forinmacro{x,y,w,z}
\foreach \m in \forinmacro {This is letter : \m\par}
\end{document}
\forinmacrohave only one element.
