This worked in my test. It uses the antcontrib tasks called "for" and "var"
declared using the xmlns within the root <project> element.
<project name="concat-test" xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<target name="concat-test">
<!--Loop over each html.part file found in webparts directory-->
<ac:for param="webPartFile">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/webparts">
<include name="*.html.part"/>
</fileset>
<sequential>
<!--Use antcontrib to clear out property for each loop
iteration since ant properties are immutable-->
<ac:var name="webPartFileRoot" unset="true"/>
<!--Calculate root file name of web part minus any directories
and extensions-->
<basename property="webPartFileRoot" file="@{webPartFile}"
suffix=".html.part"/>
<!--Perform concatenation specifying the header and footer from
a webtemplates directory and output to web directory-->
<concat destfile="${basedir}/web/${webPartFileRoot}.html">
<header file="${basedir}/webtemplates/header.html"/>
<fileset file="@{webPartFile}"/>
<footer file="${basedir}/webtemplates/footer.html"/>
</concat>
</sequential>
</ac:for>
</target>
</project>

Subject: Re: [Newbie] Nice way of concatenating files
I saw this but couldn't work out how to apply it to a selection of
files as my script does. It needs to look for all scripts labeled
*.html.part and concatenate header.html, the file and then footer.html
to create *.html. For example for the following directory...
/web:
index.html.part
page1.html.part
I need to create
index.html from header.html + index.html.part + footer.html
and
page1.html from header.html + page1.html.part + footer.html
Thanks,
Mat.
