There is no task for that, but a core function in Ant's FileUtils which can be
used
<project>
<scriptdef name="relpath" language="javascript">
<attribute name="property"/>
<attribute name="base"/>
<attribute name="file"/>
<![CDATA[
importClass(Packages.org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils);
importClass(Packages.java.io.File);
propName = attributes.get("property");
baseFile = attributes.get("base");
file = attributes.get("file");
relPath = FileUtils.getRelativePath(new File(baseFile), new
File(file) );
project.setNewProperty(propName, relPath);
]]>
</scriptdef>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="x"/>
</target>
<target name="prepare">
<mkdir dir="x/a/b/c/d/e/f/g"/>
<echo file="x/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/file.txt" message="test"/>
</target>
<target name="test">
<relpath property="rel" base="x/a/b" file="x/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/file.txt"/>
<echo>
File: x/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/file.txt
Base: x/a/b
rel : ${rel}
</echo>
</target>
</project>
