[CMake] file(READ) issue?

[David Cole]

";" is the CMake list element separator character. The ";" are still there
in the variable, you probably just can't see them with your processing code
that comes after reading in the file...

You can replace semi-colons like this with escaped semi-colons:
  STRING(REGEX REPLACE ";" "\\\\;" ZCONF_H "${ZCONF_H}")

Then CMake will treat the variable ZCONF_H as one large string that has
embedded (escaped) semi-colons in it.


HTH,
David
