[CMake] escaping!

[Javier Gonzalez]

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a command like this?
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(OUTPUT ${my_file}
...
           COMMAND find . -name "*xml" > /dev/null
...
VERBATIM
)

I managed to get it working without the verbatim option but now I added
other things and it became a nightmare. I'm trying the verbatim option
under the assumption that it would make my life easier... oh well...

The following is a list of things I tried and the output (I have tried
other things and some of them give weird stuff)

in: find . -name "*xml" > /dev/null
out: find . -name *xml > /dev/null

in: find . -name \"*xml\" > /dev/null
out: find . -name \"*xml\" > /dev/null

in: find . -name \\"*xml\\" > /dev/null
out: find . -name \\\"*xml\\\" > /dev/null  (??)

in: find . -name \\\"*xml\\\" > /dev/null
out: find . -name \\\"*xml\\\" > /dev/null

in: find . -name """*xml""" > /dev/null
out: find . -name  *xml  > /dev/null

in: find . -name \\*xml > /dev/null
out: find . -name \\*xml > /dev/null

in: find . -name \*xml > /dev/null
gives error

in: "find . -name \"*xml\" > /dev/null"
out: find\ .\ -name\ "*xml"\ >\ /dev/null

so? any idea?

p.s.: using cmake 2.4-patch 7 (is it fixed in a later version?)
