r_e_m_o_v_e a string within a path
Hi !
I'm trying to remove a source directory from a path (in a property). I
don't want to use ReplaceRegExp for now but I think that would be the
same pb anyway (not looking at a <script> solution either).
I tried the following:
<property name="tmp.properties" value="tmp.properties" />
<propertyfile file="${tmp.properties}">
<entry key="tmp.package" value="${xml.source.dir}"/>
</propertyfile>
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="${source.dir}" value="" />
<property file="${tmp.properties}" />
<echo>package name = ${tmp.package}</echo>
I however get no transformation.
when I echo ${source.dir} and ${xml.source.dir} I get the following:
[echo] removing C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao/main from
C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao\main\com\alcatel\gem\ne1671\R01_00_00\dao\xml
also after the <property call> I get (WIN32):
tmp.package=C\:\\Data\\1671sc\\src\\dao\\main\\com\\alcatel\\gem\\ne1671\\R01_00_00\\dao\\xml
in the tmp.properties file.
do I need to make a first pass to escape all '/' and '\' in
${source.dir} or this there an easiest to remove a string from a path in
a portable way ?
thanx.
seb.

Hi !
I tried that and it fixes the first substitution (i.e. the path now only contains '/', however
internally represented with \\ when dumped to a file), thanks. the second one still does not work.
if I try to hardcode
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="C\:\\Data\\1671sc\\src\\dao\\main\\" value="" summary="yes"/>
this is working fine. I'd have however hope that the replace task would have been transparent of the OS
(then how to know the string is a path ? o.k).
I'll make it work by replacing the generated string in the property file as a UNIX path, the performing
the replacment.
still wondering if there could be a direct way to assign a property to its 'display' representation
instead of its internal java representation (with escaped '\' for instance) - more direct than
pathconvert for instance ?

RE: r_e_m_o_v_e a string within a path
Posted by "W. Sean Hennessy" <sh...@goldenhourdata.com>.
the tail element
with hard coded *nix slash (aka virgule) "dao/main"
looks to be sourced/generated from ${source.dir} property.
that would be a good candidate for the use of ${file.separator}

<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="/" value="\${file.separator}" summary="yes"/>
is better than

the latest substituion (remove the source dir at the beginning) still does not occure.

Re: r_e_m_o_v_e a string within a path
Posted by Sebastien Blanc <Se...@alcatel.com>.
Hi Sean !
I'd like not to edit the file by hand (i.e. I want to extract the package name on the fly); here
is however what I tried with the file separator and reloading into a new property after replacing
any '\' by the file separator:
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="/" value="${file.separator}${file.separator}}"
summary="yes"/>
<property file="${tmp.properties}" />
(2 file separators otherwise I get daomain; that should be OK on UNIX too).
I however still have no substitution:
[echo] [AlarmsRootCfg.xml] DAO generation using stylesheet [EMARootCfgDAO.xslt].
[echo] removing C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao/main from
C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao\main\com\alcatel\gem\ne1671\R01_00_00\dao\xml

[echo] package name = C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao\main\com\alcatel\gem\ne1671\R01_00_00\dao\xml
strange because here is the tmp.properties file spawned:
tmp.source.dir=C\:\\Data\\1671sc\\src\\dao\\main
tmp.package=C\:\\Data\\1671sc\\src\\dao\\main\\com\\alcatel\\gem\\ne1671\\R01_00_00\\dao\\xml
here is the latest XML I'm using:
<echo>removing ${source.dir} from ${xml.source.dir}</echo>
<property name="tmp.properties" value="tmp.properties" />
<propertyfile file="${tmp.properties}">
<entry key="tmp.source.dir" value="${source.dir}"/>
<entry key="tmp.package" value="${xml.source.dir}"/>
</propertyfile>
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="/" value="${file.separator}${file.separator}"
summary="yes"/>
<property file="${tmp.properties}" />
<echo>removing ${tmp.source.dir} from ${tmp.package}</echo>
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="${tmp.source.dir}" value="" summary="yes"/>
<property file="${tmp.properties}" />
<!-- <delete file="${tmp.properties}"/> -->
<echo>package name = ${tmp.package}</echo>
is there any way to access the ANT internal string representation without any interpretation ?
thanx.

RE: r_e_m_o_v_e a string within a path
Posted by "W. Sean Hennessy" <sh...@goldenhourdata.com>.
what happens if you change the line in your tmp.properties file.
from "dao/main"
to "dao${file.separator}main"

Subject: r_e_m_o_v_e a string within a path
Hi !
I'm trying to remove a source directory from a path (in a property). I
don't want to use ReplaceRegExp for now but I think that would be the
same pb anyway (not looking at a <script> solution either).
I tried the following:
<property name="tmp.properties" value="tmp.properties" />
<propertyfile file="${tmp.properties}">
<entry key="tmp.package" value="${xml.source.dir}"/>
</propertyfile>
<replace file="${tmp.properties}" token="${source.dir}" value="" />
<property file="${tmp.properties}" />
<echo>package name = ${tmp.package}</echo>
I however get no transformation.
when I echo ${source.dir} and ${xml.source.dir} I get the following:
[echo] removing C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao/main from
C:\Data\1671sc\src\dao\main\com\alcatel\gem\ne1671\R01_00_00\dao\xml
also after the <property call> I get (WIN32):
tmp.package=C\:\\Data\\1671sc\\src\\dao\\main\\com\\alcatel\\gem\\ne1671\\R01_00_00\\dao\\xml
in the tmp.properties file.
do I need to make a first pass to escape all '/' and '\' in
${source.dir} or this there an easiest to remove a string from a path in
a portable way ?
thanx.
seb.
