Hi,

Can someone please explain the cmake regex matching rules?

The following returns true:

if ("This is a test" MATCHES "test")

I would have expected to have needed something like this to get a match:

if ("This is a test" MATCHES ".*test")

Does cmake always search for a subexpression?  Is there some way to prevent
this behaivor?

Thanks,
