How do I define an nmake macro from command line output?
- by Mike Atlas
I'd like to capture the output from a tool from the command line into an nmake macro.
If this were a normal command line script, it would look like this:
> MyTool.exe > output.txt
> set /P MyVariable=<output.txt
> echo %MyVariable%
However, I can't seem to find anything relevant in the nmake doc on macros that is relevant. There is scant text on the web on nmake, unfortunately...
This is basically what I'd like to do, though:
target:
@call MyTool.exe > output.txt
# This doesn't work in .mak, unfortunately. Help!
@MyVariable=<output.txt
@echo $(MyVariable)
