For general scripting tasks use general-purpose scripting language, e.g. Perl, Python, Ruby. You will avoid many issues of sub-par languages, make your programs less verbose, and will be able to use huge collections of 3rd party modules which can do almost anything you can think about > > -- > Sebastian Gniazdowski > psprint /at/ zdharma.org > > -- > > Powered by www.kitware.com > > Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: > http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ > > Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
