Otherwise, you can certainly iterate over the glob results with a foreach loop and construct the string that you want.</div><div><br></div><div>Something like: (untested, just written in email)</div><div>set(dirs "")</div>
<div>foreach(d ${glob_results})</div><div> set(dirs "${dirs}(${d})")<br>endforeach()</div><div>message("dirs='${dirs}'")</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>HTH,</div><div>David</div><div>
