Using cut within makefile
Using the piece of code below within a makefile, I am getting nothing in variable YR. If I try the code at the command prompt it works fine. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, or how I can achieve what I want. Thank you. Code:
DBDATE=2005-09-30
test:
YR=`echo ${DBDATE}|cut -c1-4` ; echo ${YR}

When you type at a command prompt you are talking to a shell which understands all of that shell syntax. A makefile is run by the make program which does not understand shell syntax. I do not know of a way for a make rule to run commands and set a make macro to the result.
