Getting relative pathes in a for loop

Hi all,

When I write the following loop, I get absolute file pathes.

      <for param="file">
          <path>
             <fileset dir="${work.dir}" includes="**/*.xml"/>
          </path>
          <sequential>
             <echo message="File : @{file}" />
          </sequential>
       </for>

C:\Temp\dir1\file1.xml
C:\Temp\dir1\file2.xml
C:\Temp\dir1\file3.xml

where work.dir=C:\Temp\dir1

I'd like to get :
file1.xml
file2.xml
file3.xml

Does anybody know how to transform absolute pathes to relative pathes ?

Thanks

A. ROY

I use propertyregex with the help of a macro:
  <!-- *********************************************
       Macro to set a property to the first
       group of a regexp applied on an input string.
       ********************************************** -->
  <macrodef name="regset1">
    <attribute name="regexp"/>
    <attribute name="input"/>
    <attribute name="property"/>
    <sequential>
      <ac:propertyregex override="yes"
                        property="@{property}"  input="@{input}"
                        regexp="@{regexp}" replace="\1"/>
    </sequential>
  </macrodef>

          <regset1 property="program" input="@{file}"
                  regexp=".*/([^\.]*)\.cpp"/>

In this case I am using the /dir/dir/dir/x.cpp name and
extracting the x as the program name.

Hello,

In your case you can use <basename> to get the name of
the file. For more sophisticated operations on paths
you may find useful <pathconvert> with nested
<mapper>.
