I am trying to rename files so that they do not have a file extension. I
need to do this because so I can FTP these files to a legacy system that
does not support file extensions (just 8 character file names without an
extension). I have tried both the copy and move tasks and have not been
able to get this to work.
I have noticed in the ant log that messages like the following are logged:
[copy] xxxxxxx.jar skipped - don't know how to handle it
Here is the two formats I have tried on both copy and move.
<copy todir="${todir}">
<fileset dir="${fromdir}">
<include name="*.*"/>
</fileset>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.*" to="*"/>
</copy>
<copy todir="${todir}">
<fileset dir="${fromdir}">
<include name="*.*"/>
</fileset>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.*" to="*."/>
</copy>
Am I doing anything obviously wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks,
John Sisson
