fileset manipulation
If I have fileset A:
<fileset dir='.' >
<include name="a" />
</fileset>
Is it possible to get the following fileset by a command that takes
fileset A as an argument in ?
<fileset dir='.' >
<include name="a.extension" />
</fileset>
Best regards
Ivar

Guess so. It probably would make sense to complement
PrefixLines with SuffixLines.

My point was that I assume that the names of Foo and
its siblings follow no predictable pattern, hence your
reason for enumerating them in a file.

Huh, I can't find something to append text at the end of a line (the
opposite of PrefixLines) in the documentation (link below). Am I
missing something obvious? I guess that token filter + ReplaceRegex
should do the trick though.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/filterchain.html
Thanks for pointing it out though, I missed this as an option.

I am not sure that I understand your point. The structure of the
subdirectories declared in the includes file is predictable. It is
just that I require different things from it, at different times. For
example, for a given Foo folder, at one point I need to get Foo/dist/
Foo.framework/**/*.* and at other times I need Foo/build.xml
Is that what you're asking?

Maybe so; I honestly can't tell what Ivar is after.

To answer your original query, F, for the time being I
would probably load your includesfile using <loadfile>
with a nested filterchain and thereby customize your
basic includesfile for each occasion. I'm assuming
that you've already determined that the subdirectories
enumerated in that basic file follow no generalizable
pattern.

Ivar,
I think your problem is similar to the one I described a few days ago
in:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-user/200808.mbox/%
3c063B99A8-B9FC-4011-8AC3-6519568D6516@mac.com%3e
So far I have not been able to solve it, nor received any answers. I
guess that the answer is that it can not be done using standard ant
stuff, that we may need to write custom tasks to do this work.

That is possible. It would probably also be doable to
create a new includes pattern using <pathconvert> and
a file mapper and generate the new fileset
"Ant-ically" as well.

If this is a custom task/macro, couldn't you just programmatically
generate that secondary fileset?
This is out there on the fringe of my ant knowledge, so it's plausible
you could do this within ant (with a refid or some other kind of
reference back to the original fileset), but I can't say for sure and
nothing pops out in the documentation.

Ok, to be more precise:
I have defined an ant macro , called "ftpWithChecksum".
The purpose of this macro is to work as a layer over the ant ftp task.
The macro will, as the name says, provide a check of checksums of the
files.
I want the corresponding checksum files to be downloaded from the same
serverand directory.
There is one checksum file for each ordinary file. The checksum file
contains the MD5 checksum for the 'real' file.
When calling this macro I submit a parameter A which is the fileset.
This fileset represents the 'real' files of interest.
But in addition the macro should download another set of files,
checksumfiles.
So if the fileset A points to file a,b,c, then in the macro I would like
to create a fileset
B, which refers to files a.MD5, b.MD5, c.MD5. The attribute 'dir' should
be the same as in fileset A.
Then the "ftpwithChecksum" macro can call ant ftp task twice. First to
download the 'real' files using fileset A, second to download the
Checksum files using fileset B.
My question is then.
Is it possible to create the fileset B ? In case how ?
Thank you for you attention and time.
