Hi,
I have two direcories:
- xmldocs with files named abc<pattern>def.xml
- txtdocs with files named rst<pattern>uvw.txt
There's a command which converts xml to txt, f.e. abc001def.xml to
rst001uvw.txt.
I'm looking for a rule that for every xml file in xmldocs
looks in txtdocs for the corresponding txt-version of the
file. If it is older or doesn't exist then it has to be made.
Something like:
xmldocs/abc%def.xml: txtdocs/rst%uvw.txt
convert $@ $<
I tried this, but you have to call make for every file in xmldocs. I would
like make to detect new(er) xml files and convert them to txt automatically.
I'm using version 3.8 in Windows XP.
With kindly regards,
Douwe.
