I have a number of times wanted to do some manipulation of a property string. For example, when running JAVA2IIOP as part of an EJB build, I need build a list of all Java classes that end in "...Home.java". A FILESET easily builds the list of files, but then I have to convert those file names to Java class names (remove path prefix, convert "/" to ".", and remove ".java" postfix).
I have written a simple string-substitution task: <subst property="someProperty" from="string1" to="string2"/> but is there a more general way to manipulate property values in ANT? I looked around on the Jakarta site but could not find anything like this... surely this is a common sort of task? -Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
