Javascript to write MKDIR task ...

["Surtani, Manik" <Ma...@conchango.com>]

Hello again,

I have been looking at using javascript with the <script ...> tag to loop
thru tasks, but can't seem to pass values to certain tasks:

E.g., I need to make a series of directories, and I do the following:

   <script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[

      for (i=1; i<=10; i++) {
        md = myProject.createTask("mkdir");
        thisTarget.addTask(md);
        md.setDir("/path/to/dir/dir_" + i);
      }

    ]]> </script>

.. And I get an error about setDir() not taking a String as a parameter.
The ANT API says setDir() takes a File class, but how can I create a File
class out of '"/path/to/dir/dir_" + I' in javascript?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

  <target name="mkdirs">
    <script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[
      importClass(java.io.File);
      for (i=1; i<=10; i++) {
        md = myProject.createTask("mkdir");
        dir = new File("/path/to/dir/dir_" + i);
        md.setDir(dir);
        md.execute() ;
      }
      ]]>
    </script>
  </target>
