Document Classes ⇒ listings | Line Number Reference in subsequent Call

[you2000too]

Dear all,

After listing a piece of code using listings, I want to use the reference of a line number as the first number of a new listing.

This is a minimal example:

Code: Select all

\lstset{

  basicstyle=\ttfamily,
  numbers=left,
  numberstyle=\tiny,
  numbersep=5pt,
  showstringspaces=false

\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=1,escapeinside={@}{@}]
def foo(int x):
 @\label{lst:myListing_2}@doSomething()
 doMore()
\end{lstlisting}
When doSomething is invoked:
\begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=\ref{lst:myListing_2}]
    doSomething()
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

How can this be achieved?

Thank you!

It seems the \ref needs to be expanded first. I haven't hunted down what happens exactly so there are probably easier solutions:

This example needs to be compiled twice and produces errors the first time.

If you have other options containing macros you might need to add \noexpand accordingly.

First of all thank you for the solution. Worked almost perfectly.

Unfortunately there is two things that still don't work as I hoped for (mainly due to the fact that I have no clue how TeX really works and what in particular your macro does).

If used with the babel package (ngerman option) it doesn't work any more. bable seems to change the \ref macro, so I could "fix" it by redefining \ref to what it was without babel while using babel. That worked.

Using \explstopt seems to introduce some whitespace and this is where I'm really stuck at. Any help would be really welcome. Thank you in advance.

Here is an example
