RE: File name to a string
Sorry if this seems very basic, but I am brand new to ANT. What I am trying to do is have a task read a directory and create an output text file with all the names that are in the directory. Is this possible.
I know how to use the concat to display the contents of the file but not sure how to just read the file name. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Craig

No problem, Craig. All you gotta do is use a
<fileset> to select your files, wrap it in a <path>,
pass that to a <pathconvert>, and <echo> that to a
file. :) If you want one filename per line, you can
specify "${line.separator}" as <pathconvert>'s pathsep
attribute.
HTH,
Matt
