o4w_env.bat pollutes stdout with OSGEO4W home info

[neteler]

GRASS GIS 7.svn is able to print its configuration which is useful e.g. for Python scripting (in order to easily obtain the path for the Python API within the installation). Unfortunately OSGeo4W interferes and makes parsing difficult:

C:\Users\user\Desktop>grass71svn --config path

OSGEO4W home is C:\OSGeo4W
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.1.svn

C:\Users\user\Desktop>

while e.g. under Linux the output is just the expected path:

grass71 --config path
/home/neteler/software/grass71/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

The extra stuff comes from C:\OSGeo4W\bin\o4w_env.bat

Could it be please suppressed or printed in a diffent way if all needed?

Thanks, Markus

the critical line in C:\OSGeo4W\bin\o4w_env.bat is

echo OSGEO4W home is %OSGEO4W_ROOT%

AFAIU the task of o4w_env.bat is to set the environment variables for different packages in OSGEO4W, I propose to delete this line of code in o4w_env.bat.

thanks Helmut

p.s. where can be o4w_env.bat found in the source: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/browser ?

I see it mentioned here: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-msvcrt
