Iterating a list?

[Scott Ellsworth <sc...@alodar.com>]

I have a list of build files I need executed in a certain order, and in 
certain directories.  I would like to get this down to just a couple of 
separated lists of project names.  I can do this if I can iterate through a 
list in order, but I do not know how to do that.

Assume I have a list of ant build files I want run:

/org/mine/build/foo
/org/mine/build/bar

and

com/employers/stuff/build/hi
com/employers/stuff/build/mom

I can set up:

   <property name="orgtargets" value="foo,bar"/>
   <property name="orgbuilddir" value="org/mine/build"/>
   <property name="comtargets" value="hi,mom"/>
   <property name="combuilddir" value="com/employers/stuff/build"/>

My build targets could be:

   <target name="build-debug">
     <property name="builddirectory" value="${orgbuilddir}"/>
     <for each org target>
       <property name="buildproject" value="orgtarget[i]" >
       <ant dir="${builddirectory}/{buildproject}" target="${buildcommand}"/>
     <end for>
     <property name="builddirectory" value="${combuilddir}"/>
     <for each com target>
       <property name="buildproject" value="comtarget[i]" >
       <ant dir="${builddirectory}/{buildproject}" target="${buildcommand}"/>
     <end for>
   <target>

This then would do

<ant dir="/org/mine/build/foo"/>
<ant dir="/org/mine/build/bar"/>
<ant dir="com/employers/stuff/build/hi"/>
<ant dir="com/employers/stuff/build/mom"/>

Is there any way to do this?

let the flames fly.... that's a touchy subject around here.......
very scripty.....  If you really want a foreach task, i'll
send you one.  There is the "apply" task, but it assumes you
want to execute an OS command on it.

the one i have would look like:

<target name="doStuff">
  <echo message="param="${org}" />
</target>

<target name="doTheLoop">
  <foreach list="org1,org2"
           delimiter=","
           param="org"
           target="doStuff" />
</target>
