-R Test will run all my tests, In the example I wanted to omit C
 
This is a small example with hundreds of tests, it is very tedious to use the -R option.
Also maintaining -R arguments is very error-prone when dealing with a large number of tests.
I was hoping for an easy way to specify tests directly by their name through file input ...
Anyway I might just write a script that converts names into numbers by parsing the output of ctest -N .
Either that or write a script that generates ctest config files that use an abundance of -R calls for each test
 
 
Thanks for your help Bill.
