Hi,

I have a problem where I need to seperate words out of a string from inside a makefile.
for eg:

Commandline:

Quote:

make MOD="word1 word2 word3"

Inside makefile I need to assign these values to a variables as

Quote:

VAR+=word1
VAR+=word2
VAR+=word3

For this I need to parse the string? How to do it?

$(word n,text):

Quote:

Returns the nth word of text. The legitimate values of n start from 1. If n is bigger than the number of words in text, the value is empty. For example,

$(word 2, foo bar baz)

returns ‘bar’.

Code:

VAR+=$(word 1, $(MOD))
VAR+=$(word 2, $(MOD))
VAR+=$(word 3, $(MOD))
