<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">I am running into a confounding problem. I wanted to build a source file for a paper by inputting separate sections into a master file (ie, in masterfile.tex, have a line “\input{section}”,
and creating separately a file
<div class="">section.tex).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think I have done this successfully before. This time, the first input worked. Then I tried to input into the section the contents of a file subsection.tex, in the same way—that is, via a command “\input{subsection}”. (Note that all three
are in the same folder).</div>
<div class="">I got an error “ Latex error: can’t find file subsection.tex”.</div>
<div class="">So I tried instead, in masterfile.tex, to follow the first command \input{section} with a second command \input{subsection}. Same error message.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The file names I initially worked with are different, but that is the essence of the problem.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So I tried to create a “minimal example”. Here are two files, sitting in the same folder:</div>
<div class=""></div>
</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">
<div></div>
</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">
<div class="">l</div>
<div class="">InputTest has just a standard latex template, followed by “\input{first section}”.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Trying to compile this, I get the error message “can’t find file first section.tex”. (that is, this time even the first input doesn’t work) Here is the log file:</div>
