Hi Gilbert, That worked. Many Thanks!
The doc for fileset ( http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html ) does not list id as one of the attributes. Is it an undocumented feature ? btw, I am using JDK 5.0u14 and Ant 1.6.5 on windows xp. thanks, Hari On Jan 16, 2008 1:07 AM, Gilbert Rebhan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Is there a way to search for a file matching a condition and assign it > to a > > variable ? > > > > Basically I want something like : > > > > <task dir="c:\mydir" filter="commons-io-*.jar" > output_variable="my_variable" > > /> > > > > my_variable should contain the list of jar files in C:\mydir that match > the > > pattern "commons-io-*.jar". > > > <fileset dir=C:/your/dir includes="commons-io-*.jar" id=yourid/> > > now you have all those files that are matched by the includes > pattern in the property ${toString:yourid} for further processing ... > > Regards, Gilbert > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
