possible to recurse through directory to see if a file exists in a subdirectory

[Mario Madunic <Ma...@newflyer.com>]

(Using ANT 1.8, WinXP)

I need to find out if a certain file with a standard naming convention exists in a subdirectory. I would like to either have the directory path output to either the screen or a txt file. Either is okay.

More details.

I'll have a root dir I'm working with

Files/

And beneath this are 900+ subdirs. Most have no spaces in their names but around 50 do.

files/1999 (example)

Now the 1999 dir has subdirs but they are all standard between all the subdirs of files.

files/1999/pub/1999p01.txt

Other examples
files/1998_1997/pub/1998p01.txt
files/1996 (see 1995)/pub/ (does not contain any files)
files/1995/pub/1995p01.txt

The only part of the file name to change is all the chars before the p01.txt

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Quick idea is something like

<pathconvert>
    <fileset dir="" includes="the-search-file"/>
    <mapper/>
</pathconvert>

You have to search for the right mapper ...
