My index entries get rejected. I compile, and then in TexStudio do Tools > Commands > MakeIndex

I thought I did everything according to the documentation.

I had no problems using makeidx. 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{splitidx}

\makeindex
\newindex[Berechnen]{rech}
\newindex[Graph]{gra}


\begin{document}
    text
    \newpage
    text 1
    \sindex[rech]{lord}
    \newpage
    text2\sindex[rech]{shawty}
    \newpage
    text3\sindex[gra]{leftist}
    \printindex[rech]
    \newpage
    \printindex[gra]
\end{document}

  • I get Scanning input file buoch-gra.idx....done (1 entries accepted, 0 rejected). for the first index and Scanning input file buoch-rech.idx....done (2 entries accepted, 0 rejected). for the second one. – egreg May 13 '17 at 16:57
  • I get 'This is makeindex, version 2.15 [MiKTeX 2.9.6200] (kpathsea + Thai support). Scanning input file MWE.idx...done (0 entries accepted, 3 rejected). Nothing written in MWE.ind. Transcript written in MWE.ilg.' Does that provide further information? Seems ike only one .idx file is made ... – Buochserhorn May 13 '17 at 17:02
  • You have to run splitindex, not makeindex. – egreg May 13 '17 at 17:06

When you use splitidx, the correct sequence of commands is

pdflatex file
splitindex file
pdflatex file

The program splitindex will create the .idx files and then run makeindex over them.

  • How do I "run splitindex"? Windows user here :-) – Buochserhorn May 13 '17 at 17:14
  • @Buochserhorn Sorry for you. ;-). Define a new tool for TeXStudio that runs splitindex instead of makeindex. – egreg May 13 '17 at 17:19
  • I tried to do that, can see the splitindex package in the Miktex package manager, but still get: 'Process started: "C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/splitindex.exe"

    splitindex.exe: The script could not be found.

    splitindex.exe: Data: scriptEngine="perl", name="splitindex", path="scripts/splitindex/perl/splitindex.pl"' [I get the same error when I change the default index tool to splitindex, and makeindex and splitindex are in the same folder]

  • @Buochserhorn I think you need Perl, but I'm afraid I know nothing about Windows. – egreg May 13 '17 at 18:10
  • I installed that in the meantime thanks to this question, now only the script is missing. :-) – Buochserhorn May 13 '17 at 18:11
