[Newbie] Nice way of concatenating files
Hi,
Sorry for the newbie question. I have written a task to concatenate
files but want to do it better (in a more platform independent way) as
it currently relies on "cat" being an available executable. Can anyone
tell me how to do this using the <concat> task or anything?
<target name="-pre-compile">
<apply executable="cat">
<arg value="${web.docbase.dir}/header.html "/>
<srcfile/>
<arg value="${web.docbase.dir}/footer.html "/>
<fileset dir="${web.docbase.dir}/" includes="*.html.part" excludes="" />
<mapper type="glob" from="*.html.part" to="*.html"/>
<redirector>
<outputmapper id="out" type="glob" from="*.html.part"
to="${build.web.dir}/*.html"/>
</redirector>
</apply>
</target>
Many thanks,
Mat.

Perfect! Thank you very much. The code I ended up using is...
<target name="-pre-compile">
<copy todir="${build.web.dir}">
<fileset dir="${web.docbase.dir}" includes="*.html.part" excludes="" />
<filterchain>
<concatfilter prepend="${web.docbase.dir}/header.html"
append="${web.docbase.dir}/footer.html" />
</filterchain>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.html.part" to="*.html" />
</copy>
</target>
Thanks again to all who answered,
Mat.

How about this (untested):
<copy todir='... if needed ...'>
<fileset dir='/web' includes='*.html' excludes='... if
needed...' />
<filterchain>
<concatfilter prepend=' header.html'
append='footer.html' />
</filterchain>
<mapper type='glob' from='*.part to='*.html' />
</copy>
If this isn't correct, it should be very close to gthe answer.

I saw this but couldn't work out how to apply it to a selection of
files as my script does. It needs to look for all scripts labeled
*.html.part and concatenate header.html, the file and then footer.html
to create *.html. For example for the following directory...
/web:
index.html.part
page1.html.part
I need to create
index.html from header.html + index.html.part + footer.html
and
page1.html from header.html + page1.html.part + footer.html

RE: [Newbie] Nice way of concatenating files
Posted by Shawn Castrianni <Sh...@halliburton.com>.
This worked in my test. It uses the antcontrib tasks called "for" and "var" declared using the xmlns within the root <project> element.
<project name="concat-test" xmlns:ac="antlib:net.sf.antcontrib">
<target name="concat-test">
<!--Loop over each html.part file found in webparts directory-->
<ac:for param="webPartFile">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/webparts">
<include name="*.html.part"/>
</fileset>
<sequential>
<!--Use antcontrib to clear out property for each loop iteration since ant properties are immutable-->
<ac:var name="webPartFileRoot" unset="true"/>
<!--Calculate root file name of web part minus any directories and extensions-->
<basename property="webPartFileRoot" file="@{webPartFile}" suffix=".html.part"/>
<!--Perform concatenation specifying the header and footer from a webtemplates directory and output to web directory-->
<concat destfile="${basedir}/web/${webPartFileRoot}.html">
<header file="${basedir}/webtemplates/header.html"/>
<fileset file="@{webPartFile}"/>
<footer file="${basedir}/webtemplates/footer.html"/>
</concat>
</sequential>
</ac:for>
</target>
</project>

I saw this but couldn't work out how to apply it to a selection of
files as my script does. It needs to look for all scripts labeled
*.html.part and concatenate header.html, the file and then footer.html
to create *.html. For example for the following directory...
/web:
index.html.part
page1.html.part
I need to create
index.html from header.html + index.html.part + footer.html
and
page1.html from header.html + page1.html.part + footer.html
Thanks,
Mat.

Ant's <concat/> task is what you want:
