Extracting path from file name

[Stefano Mancarella <ma...@opoipi.bancaintesa.it>]

I have a property containing the full path to a file and I want extract the
directory path only.

For example, from:

<property name="some.property" value="/somedir/somefile"/>

I want to get "/somedir" only.

How can I do this (using Ant 1.4.1 and, possibly, not with a script)?

Pick up the new dirname task from Ant's CVS.  Don't use the latest
revision but Diane's initial version, this should work with 1.4.1 as
well.
