I want to read xkeyval options from an external file, like:



setkeysmy@keysinputconf


I tried several combinations of edef and expandafter, but to no avail. Any ideas?



Best regards,



Nicolas

          You can't edef an input because it isn't expandable. You have to first read the contents of the file to a temporary variable and then pass that to setkeys.



          Here's an expl3 implementation of setkeysFile. It's the same as the standard setkeys except that the second argument is a file that (should) contain a comma separated list of key-value pairs.



          RequirePackagefilecontents
          beginfilecontents*conf.tex
          hello = world :D,
          goodnews = everyone!,
