I think the ANT-ers are too close to releasing 1.3 to include this... oh well. > Personally I'd prefer to > see the task begin referred to as "concat" or the full "concatenate" since > "cat" seems a bit abstract and too *nix like for me, but otherwise no real > complaints. Yeah, I thought about that too. I decided on 'cat' because it would be familiar for those who have made lots of makefiles on UN*X / Linux. It also fits well with the 'chgrp' and 'chmod' tasks. > > I've started playing with the code to make it Java 1.1 friendly (done) and > add some support for ordering the the files in the concatenation - aiming > for attributes; order="none|name|path|length|date" (i.e. any > metric I could > find in the File object!) and ascending="true|false" (work in progress). > Any thoughts? are thought crimes afoot?

There are a few things I didn't do becuase this would involve changes to the base code, which I didn't want to do for my first sumission: - Ordering. - Applying 'filters' (like copy)... the method that does the token substitution is not visible. :( > > Rob > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Joshua Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Saturday 13 January 2001 18:54 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache.
