Matthew,
I wrote a task that takes a fileset and calls any ant target for each file
in the fileset. It passes several formats of the currently processed
filename in properties:
foreach.file--a full filename from the defined fileset,
foreach.dir--the directory of the file,
foreach.name.ext--the name of the file, without path but with extension,
foreach.name--the name of the file, without path and without extension
Example:
<target name="foo">
<foreach>
<fileset dir="${server.src}" casesensitive="yes">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
<exclude name="**/*Test*"/>
</fileset>
<antcall target="bar">
<param name="property1" value="aaaaa" />
<param name="foo" value="bar" />
</antcall>
</foreach>
</target>
<target name="bar" depends="init">
<echo message="prop is ${property1} ${foo}" />
<echo message="foreach.file is ${foreach.file}" />
<echo message="foreach.dir is ${foreach.dir}" />
<echo message="foreach.name.ext is ${foreach.name.ext}" />
<echo message="foreach.name is ${foreach.name}" />
</target>
It is based on the core <delete> task.
Are you interested in it? Is there anyone else interested? (Wouldn't mind to
have it included in the Ant's distribution ;-))
