i have a Makefile: # This is a template for all makefile. #Set the list of files to be delete by clean: CLEAN_TARGETS += $(ALL_LIBRARIES) #Set the list of target to make while testing TEST_TARGETS += mytest # adjust the location of Rules.mk as needed. include ../../Rules.mk mytest: $(CMDECHO) echo mytest > /dev/null testWithFailure: ifeq ($(FAIL),) $(WarnFailTest) endif I want to add comething from the command line in front of TEST_TARGETS += One more thing. there is 'mytest' after TEST_TARGETS += i need to delete that in one option and i want to retain that in another, for example if i get 'test1' from command line it should be appeneded so that it becomes TEST_TARGETS += test1 mytest How can i do that?

Hey: i have following content in file... TARGETS += TAR1 TAR1TAR2 TAR3 Now i have to check whether TAR1 exists or not. Its easy to find but in this case it gives two occurences. I need independent (TAR1 by itself, as independent string). It shouldn't consider TAR1 in TAR1TAR2 One more thing...this can be done by searching ' TAR1 ' but what if it is the last word on that line. ' TAR1 ' wont work because last word on line is not a spcae ' '. i dont know. can someone help me out. Atif

grep -w "TAR1" <file> Jc
