I think you misunderstand ANT. Either you use it, possibly extending it with a custom task (but there are often pure-ANT solutions), or you do write a perl script top to bottom to compile your project. If you could restate precisely what you are trying to do, I would be surprised we wouldn't find a solution to your problem, and if indeed there are none and it's a valid use case, most probably an extension would be added, in the form of a custom task.
Not very useful, huh? --DD -----Original Message----- From: Grinvald, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 10:04 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Get directory listing and iterate over Hi all, Since i can't seem to be able to get perl to work with <script>, and javascript (luckily) can't access local filesystems (and is therefore not a good substituion to perl), i am in a bit of confusion as to how to do the following: I have a larget number 20+ of subprojects that i'd need to compile/build/dist/etc. they are all under one src directory. Is there a way for me to go that directory, get the listing, and then using antcall call one function that will do everything (function already written) for all the subdirectories/projects in that src directory, in one loop. Any help would be appreciated.
