Well, here's how you can get a flattened list of file names:
I leaned this on a wild goose chase to do something that turned out to be
much simpler than I originally thought. However, I guess I still learned
something. Here it is:
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" id="sample.fs.src">
<present targetdir="${src.dir}">
<mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" />
</present>
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="," property="sample.fs.src.copies"
setonempty="false" refid="sample.fs.src">
<map from="${src.dir}${file.separator}sample." to=""/>
</pathconvert>
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="${sample.fs.src.copies}" />
That grabs all files that exist in the src.dir with the naming scheme
"sample.*" that have a corresponding "*" file in the same directory. Then
I use <pathconvert> to iterate through the files returned with a <map>
element to remove all the path info all the way up to "sample." which
leaves you with the "*" filename with no path. Now pass that to another
fileset's "includes" attribute and you have a fileset with flattened files.
Is that close to what you wanted?
