How can I automate use of LOADFILE? (i.e. to load all files in a particular directory into their properties)
Hi,
Is there a way to automatically load all files (using LOADFILE) in a
particular directory?
That is loaded in a way such that the ANT property name will be the name of
the file. I want to automate what I'm doing in my ANT script below which
does the LOADFILE part manually.
<!-- HOW CAN I AUTOMATE CREATION OF THESE PROPERTIES??? -->
<loadfile property="snippet1"
srcFile="${src}/${common}/snippet1.lsl"/>
<loadfile property="snippet2"
srcFile="${src}/${common}/snippet2.lsl"/>
Thanks.

Hi,
I've got a fair portion of this working (see below), however does anyone
know how to automate the LOADFILE part below?
That is, automate finding all files in the "common" directory and
loading the concents of each file into a property for which the property
name is the filename?

<tstamp/>
<!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile -->
<mkdir dir="${build}"/>

The simplest thing would be a <copy> with a nested <filterchain>s and
<filterset>s.
Your TAG would be an Ant property in the snippet.

Re: How can I automate use of LOADFILE? (i.e. to load all files in a particular directory into their properties)
Posted by Ninju Bohra <ni...@yahoo.com>.
Have you tried using the <for> task (from the ant-contrib) to loop over all the files in the directory and then call <loadfile> inside the macrodef.
<for param="file">
<path>
<fileset dir="${test.dir}/mains" includes="*.cpp"/>
</path>
<sequential>
<var name="simple.name" unset="true"/>
<basename file="@{file}" property="simple.name"/>
<loadfile property="contents.of.${simple.name}" srcfile="@{file}"/>
</sequential>
</for>
Have fun,
Ninju
