I want to execute the following command using EXECUTE_PROCESS.
EXECUTE_PROCESS( COMMAND rm -vf */*.*~ RESULT_VARIABLE ret_var)
I have some abc.txt~ files.
The result variable shows 0 as its value, signifying that the command has been
executed properly. The above mentioned files still exists.
Thanks for your advice in advance.
You should change it to do:
EXECUTE_PROCESS( COMMAND rm -rf /* RESULT_VARIABLE ret_var)
:-)
Only kidding....
The problem is that you are running rm without a shell. The shell is
the one that
expands the */*.~ stuff and passes the expanded list to rm. So, this
might work:
EXECUTE_PROCESS( COMMAND sh rm -vf */*.*~ RESULT_VARIABLE ret_var)
To be more portable, you should look at the FILE command.
Specifically these two options:
FILE(GLOB_RECURSE variable [RELATIVE path])
FILE(REMOVE [file1 ...])
