Build question

[Viraf Bankwalla <vi...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am new to ANT and was wondering if it is possible to
enumerate the files that match a fileset.

For example, I have a set of directories that follow a
naming convention:

   **/a/b/*/**

I want to be able identify all directories that match
* and then call a task with the matched name *.  How
would one go this in Ant 1.4.1

Thanks.

In 1.4.1, with a custom task or a <script>. If you upgrade to 1.5, you can
do it with built-in tasks + ant-contrib's <foreach> (I'm assuming you
actually meant call a target, not call a task):

  <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>

  <target name="runDirTargets">
    <dirset id="ds1" dir="viraf" includes="**/a/b/*"/>
    <pathconvert property="ds1" pathsep="," refid="ds1"/>
    <foreach list="${ds1}" target="runDirTarget" param="dir"/>
  </target>

  <target name="one">
    <echo>Running target one...</echo>
  </target>

  <target name="two">
    <echo>Running target two...</echo>
  </target>

  <target name="runDirTarget">
    <basename file="${dir}" property="target.dir"/>
    <antcall target="${target.dir}"/>
  </target>

Given:
viraf/src/a/b/one/subdir
viraf/src/a/b/two/subdir

Results in:
one:
     [echo] Running target one...

two:
     [echo] Running target two...
