I have a eskdi.sty style file where I define two command:

\newcommand{\gostorganizatia}[2]{%
  \ifnum #1 = 1% 1 - text; 2 - logo
    \gdef\gostorganizatiaopt{text}%%
    \def\gostorganizatiatext#2{\gdef\@gostorganizatiatext{#2}\relax}%
  \else%
    \gdef\gostorganizatiaopt{logo}%
    \def\gostorganizatialogo#2{\gdef\@gostorganizatialogo{#2}\relax}%
  \fi%
}

And in another ESKD_frames.sty style file:

\ifx \gostorganizatiaopt text%
  \spformedboxmm{135}{20}{185}{4.0}{s}{\@gostorganizatiatext}%
\else%
  \spformedboxmm{150}{16}{170}{4.0}{s}{\includegraphics*[keepaspectratio=true, height=10mm]{\@gostorganizatialogo}}%
\fi%

Macro spformedboxmm draw #6 argument between x1-x2 and y1,y2 with parameter s.

Usage in a title.tex:

\gostorganizatia{1}{some text}% for drawing text

or to draw float figure

\gostorganizatia{2}{./path_to_logo.jpg}

What is the best way to define global variable to use it in a different *.sty files?

Update:

In a main.log there are few error:

! Undefined control sequence. ...age LaTeX Error: File \@gostorganizatialogo ' not found.** and **! LaTeX Error: File' not found.

It seems to me that \gostorganizatiaopt does not work.

    your question is not very clear, what do you need to define? After \newcommand{\gostorganizatia}[2] the macro takes two arguments so the use should be \gostorganizatia{1}{some text} not \gostorganizatia{1, some text} note also you are missing % from ends of lines in the definition \gdef\@gostorganizatiaoption{1} should be \gdef\@gostorganizatiaoption{1}% and same for {2}

  • Ok, I'll check it, maybe it's my syntax error

  • Also, asking a question of the form "What is the best way..." requests subjective input as there may be no best way, or different people think their own solution is best.

You think that

\ifx \gostorganizatiaopt text%

test whether \gostorganizatiaopt is being compared to text. However, it's actually being compared to t, and it will never be true in your case. If you want a text-comparison, use the e-TeX \pdfstrcmp{<strA>}{<strB>} which returns 0 if <strA> = <strB>:

\ifnum\pdfstrcmp{\gostorganizatiaopt}{text}=0
  % TRUE <text>
\else
  % FALSE <logo>
\fi

A counter is the best way for me.

In the eskdi.sty file declare macro

\newcounter{gostorgcounter}% 0=text; 1=logo
\newcommand{\gostorganizatia}[2]{%
  %
  \setcounter{gostorgcounter}{#1}%
  %
  \ifnum\thegostorgcounter=0% 0 - text; 1 - logo
    \newcommand{\gostorganizatiatext}[1]{#2}
  \fi%
  %
  \ifnum\thegostorgcounter=1%
    \newcommand{\gostorganizatialogo}[1]{#2}
  \fi%
}%

In a drawing file the follow construction:

\ifnum\thegostorgcounter=0% text mode
  \spboxmm{125}{10}{170}{4.0}{lc}{\parbox{70mm}{\centering \gostorganizatiatext{}}}
\fi%
%
\ifnum\thegostorgcounter=1% logo mode
  \spformedboxmm{150}{10}{170}{4.0}{c}{\includegraphics[keepaspectratio=true]{\gostorganizatialogo{}}}%
\fi%

Usage \gostorganizatia{0}{some text} for text mode or \gostorganizatia{1}{./path_to_logo.jpg} for image.
