Are you saying that, based on the directory name being
DirName_0206, you would know the corresponding date
would be 2002-06-01? If so, then it seems like some
simple String operations would do the trick... this
led me to think how cool it would be if the properties
syntax were expanded to include string and pattern
operations a la bash (I don't know if all its string
operators are available in ksh or csh). Probably it
wouldn't be difficult to code (if somebody tells me
where properties are parsed out of ${} syntax I might
look into it myself) and it could maybe make life
easier in cases like this.
Another related thing that might be cool is to have
either or both of: a way to limit the scope of a
property, or a way to return a value from an
<antcall>, so that it might not be so "costly" to use
properties for temporary values.
Okay, so now everybody tell me I'm crazy and argue
with me... :)
