[CMake] evaluate a generator experssion

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Hello list

I've got some test scripts which are called with test names and such like and I am using cmake expansion of vars to get from this
  "$<TARGET_FILE:${framework}_server>"
to
  "$<TARGET_FILE:hg_test_server>"

which is correct. But unfortunately, when I use
file(WRITE "stuff containing above string")

the file is written with   "$<TARGET_FILE:hg_test_server>" inside it, and not the full path/name of the target as I'd hoped.

Is there a way to force the evaluation of the generator expression so it is correctly written out into the launch script?

thanks

JB
