jtidy task operates on a fileset but won't operate on a single file

[ck...@onebox.com]

I am automating a process of turning MS Excel 2000 Workbooks into XSLT files for producing reports from a database in Excel format.

I am at the point where I'm moving upstream in automating the process. I want to prep the output from an Excel "Save As HTML" operation as a step in converting them to XSLT files. So there's the background.

When MS Excel saves a workbook as HTML, it produces what I call a "master" file and a subdirectory containing HTML files for each worksheet, one for the CSS, one for the tabstrip that appears at the bottom of a workbook permitting the user to view and operate on individual worksheets, and an XML file listing all the worksheets in the workbook.

I have prepared a build.xml file that will operate on all the HTML files in that subdirectory, doing exactly what I want it to do.

I have not yet been able to get it processes the "master" file which is located in a level above those.

Look at this directory structure for example:

report
    |____ master_file.htm
    |____ master_file_files
            |_____sheet001.htm
            |_____sheet002.htm
            |_____sheet003.htm
            |_____filelist.xml
            |_____tabstrip.htm
            |_____stylesheet.css

This is my ant target:

<target name="tidy" depends="init">
  <tidy destdir="${base-dir}/tidy" flatten="true">
    <fileset dir="${base-dir}">
      <include name="**/*.htm"/>
    </fileset>
    <parameter name="wrap" value="0" />
    <parameter name="numeric-entities" value="true" />
  </tidy>
</target>

Where the value of ${base.dir} is the complete path to the "report" directory.

The results of running this target are:

1) the "tidy" subdirectory is created in {$base.dir}

2) all of the files with the .htm extension located in master_file_files are processed and placed in the ${base-dir}/tidy directory

3) master_file.htm is not processed and placed in the ${base-dir}/tidy directory


Item 3 is the fly in the ointment. I cannot understand why this file is ignored. Can anyone offer an insight?

Thanks.
