How to process multiple files using exec
Hi
I have a tar xvf task to run on all the files in a directory. Here is my ant script:
<exec append="true" executable="tar" dir="${a}/help" failonerror="true">
<arg line="xvf acurate_help.tar" />
</exec>
How can I extend it to all the files found under ${a}/help?
TIA
Murthy
