thanks for our mails. I will try this tomorrow.

You can not call a function without getting its result. call_func is
like a black hole, it absorbs the output of scan_toks, so you do not
need to write an own procedure and a variable declaration.

No, this part of my code works see, the C-code is almost the same as in
the pdfmapfile function in config.c. And the code
tex_printf("<%s>",makecstring(tokenstostring(t)));
writes out its input perfectly.
Greetings,
