This stems from the fact I don't believe I can use wildcards in the p4edit task. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please!) So I do want to iterate on files that do exist. :-) Really, it isn't really foreach's responsibility, but it comes close to being able to help.
<mapper> would make a nice <foreach> element for other tasks too I imagine... Anyone have any ideas how I can get a flattened list of file names from a fileset? or iterate over a directory in Perforce? thanks! dM -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 4:22 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: applying mappers to fileset Again, a fileset only works on *existing* files, so flattening it would give a set of filenames that don't exist (yet?). It makes sense for <foreach> to support a mapper though. Erik Duane Mattos wrote: > I guess I'd like to create a new fileset from an old one.
