Unzip specific folders in ANT

Hi,

I have a zip file with multiple folders in it.
Instead of extracting the whole contents present in ZIP-File, is it possible
to extract only the specific folders that is required for me?

Regards,
Sunil

Take a guess at what the "**" wildcard means...

                <include name="just_from_this_folder/*.gif"/>

but using the relevant folder name, obviously.

Hi Jan,

This worked as i expected.
Thanks a lot Jan

This works for me:

<project>

    <mkdir dir="_allImages_"/>
    <unzip src="${ant.home}/lib/ant.jar" dest="_allImages_">
        <patternset>
            <include name="images/"/>
        </patternset>
    </unzip>
    
    <mkdir dir="_selectedFiles_"/>
    <unzip src="${ant.home}/lib/ant.jar" dest="_selectedFiles_">
        <patternset>
            <include name="**/ant_logo_large.gif"/>
            <include name="**/LICENSE.txt"/>
        </patternset>
    </unzip>

</project>

Hi Mark,

I tried with the wildcard that you provided and checked with verbose option.
Extracting of files doesn't seem to happen for specified folder names.

Sunil

Should \ vs / matter?  It seems to for me...

Can you try :-

   <include name="**\resource\images\*.gif"/>

please?  Perhaps include the output from "ant -verbose"?

Yes i tried specifying the wildcard using the folder name as mentioned below

<include name="**/resource/images/*.gif"/> 

But this didn't extract the contents under the ./resource/images folder.

All files with the extension of .gif and .GIF from all of the folders?

Did you try changing the wild card folder component in the include from
'**/'  to include the folder name you want to extract?

Re: AW: Unzip specific folders in ANT

I'm using the sample specified in the ANT

<unzip src="${resource.dir}/sample.zip" dest="${resource.dir}/images">
	<patternset>
		<include name="**/*.gif"/>
		<include name="**/*.GIF"/>		        
	</patternset>
</unzip>

But this extracts contents from all the folders present in the zip file.

Wanted to know how to specify the folder name from which these gif files are
to be extracted.

Thanks,
Sunil

Have a look at the examples of <unzip>.
