Help with (regexp?) file mapper
Hi all,
I'm trying to both change the file name (add 'Form' suffix and change
from .xml to .java) and directory structure (add one more directory) for
example from
my/package/Foo.xml
to
my/package/web/FooForm.java
Looks like this is a piece of cake using the regexp file mapper but i
really suck in regular expressions, anyone have a similar example handy?
Thanks,
Manos

Hello,
since ant-1.6.3 regexpmapper has handledirsep attribute, set this to
"yes" and it will match slashes and backslashes.

This has to be done "by hand" in the code. Most of the tasks have been
updated to allow
the new "named" mapper elements - but some for example xslt have not
been updated yet.

The mapper element does allow a nested mapper which corresponds to the
same thing.
<mapper>
<regexpmapper .../>
</mapper>

[solved] Task allows nested mapper but not regexpmapper with handledirsep

That wouldn't work on my linux box right? I switch between a windows
machine at work and my linux laptop frequently, so i initially added an
entry in my build properties:
# controls the path seperator to use in regexp mappers,
# use "/" on unixish systems and "\\\\" on wonblows (no quotes)
mapper.dir.seperator=\\\\
and used it like
<mapper type="regexp" from="(.*)${mapper.dir.seperator}(.*).xml"
However, Peter Reilly's way removes the need to maintain a property and
allows the use of handledirsep by just nesting the mappers:
<task.that.allows.mapper.but.not.regexp.or.other>
<mapper>
<regexpmapper handledirsep="true" from="(.*)/(.*).xml"
to="\1/web/\2Form.java" />
</mapper>
</task.that.allows.mapper.but.not.regexp.or.other>
Thanks all.

FWIW, you can define an external <mapper> with an ID that contains the
<rexexpmapper> (using the attribute), and refid this one inside <xslt>
Not tested, but a quick look at the code seems to indicate it's possible,
at least on the HEAD>

Do you mind describing your solution in more details, to help those
who search the mailing list archive?
BTW, did you try \${file.separator}? --DD

${file.separator} does not work for regexp mapper but that is a minor
issue; the real issue, IMHO, is using mappers within other tasks. For
example, the xslt/style allows a nested mapper type="regexp" but that
does not support the handledirsep attribute. regexpmapper does, but
that subtask is not allowed by xslt!
Anyway, i just defined a project property to use within mappers and that
works well.

Yes, you've run into the ugly bit in mappers, namely the fact that the
file separator changes on different platforms, compounded by the fact
that the Windows separator is a special character in regexp.
Just using ${file.separator} is not enough, because it yields just
\ and not the escaped form. (maybe using \${file.separator} would
be cross-platform).
I think I remember a fix was introduced to 'normalize' filenames to
forward slashes prior to mapping them. I don't recall the new attribute
name though (if it indeed exists). --DD

My intention was to be sincere, not rude. I really am clueless when it
comes to regexp and have little time to actually get into regular
expression tutorials right now.

In the future you tell us what you have already tried: it would be helpful
in debugging the problem. Asking the question in the manner that you have
might make one think that you haven't tried this at all & are just looking
for someone to figure it out for you.
In any case, this is untested, but it should be close; you may have to
play around with the greediness qualifiers.
