shell-escape
I know this question has been asked a lot of times, however I can't seem to fix my problem. My problem is as follows, I am using MikTex 2.9 and TeXWorks and I try to add the --enable-write18 to enable shell-escape however the output gives:
texify: --enable-write18 unknown option
I added it to: Preferences > Typesettings and then pdfLaTeX and selected edit and then added it to the parameter list.
Thanks
Let's try a simple document test.tex; the package pdftexcmds is loaded in order to have \pdf@shellescape available with all engines.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdftexcmds}
\makeatletter
\count@=\pdf@shellescape
\showthe\count@
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Ciao
\end{document}
Here's what happens with
pdflatex testpdflatex test --shell-escapelualatex testlualatex test --shell-escapexelatex testxelatex test --shell-escapeThe execution stops because of \showthe, showing
> 2.
l.5 \showthe\count@
in all six invocations (TeX Live 2012 on Mac OS X, but I don't think it's different with other platforms).
If we put --shell-escape at its proper place, the execution of any of
pdflatex --shell-escape testlualatex --shell-escape testxelatex --shell-escape teststops showing
> 1.
l.5 \showthe\count@
This means that the setting of --shell-escape can be done only in "infix notation" and that the option has no effect if postfixed.
As kindly as usual, Paulo Cereda confirms that, on MiKTeX, options can be specified after the file name for pdftex and xetex, but not for luatex. As the most common syntax format on other systems is with "infix" options, my opinion is that TikZEdt is wrong in its assumptions.
Since the command line version works for the OP, it looks like a TeXWorks setup problem.
The following additions to the TeXWorks compilation options work for me. I am sorry for german texts in the screenshots from my PC.
The first one is for setting up a pdfLaTeX compile option with --shell-escape:
The second one is for a pdfLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX compile option with --shell-escape:
With both settings the example from http://t-f-s.github.io/csvsorter/ compile.
Prerequisite is that the CSVsorter program is found on the system path. Putting it into the source directory of the LaTeX example also works.
The files for the example are the following:
songcontest.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,booktabs,csvsimple}
\usepackage{geometry}
\begin{document}
\csvreader[sort by=sumsort.xml,

{\Artist & \itshape''\Title'' & \Country &

\end{document}

With texify you must pass the option through the
--tex-optionoption:
