RE: File Includer

[Jan . Materne]

Quick shot for getting the newest file (then the <touch> would also be
helpful).

<project>

  <!--
      Iterates over filesets and stores the latest timestamp (long value)
      in a specified property.

  <scriptdef name="newest" language="javascript">
      <attribute name="property"/>
      <element name="fileset" type="fileset"/>
      importClass(Packages.org.apache.tools.ant.Project);
      importClass(Packages.org.apache.tools.ant.DirectoryScanner);
      importClass(Packages.org.apache.tools.ant.types.FileSet);
      importClass(java.io.File);
      lastMod = 0;
      filesets = elements.get("fileset");
      for (i=0; i&lt;filesets.size(); i++) {
          fs = filesets.get(i);
          ds = fs.getDirectoryScanner(project);
          srcFiles = ds.getIncludedFiles();
          basedir = fs.getDir(project);

          for (j=0; j&lt;srcFiles.length; j++) {
              file = new File(basedir, srcFiles[j]);
              lm = file.lastModified();
              project.log(srcFiles[j] + "  : " + lm, Project.MSG_VERBOSE);
              if (lastMod &lt; lm) {
                  lastMod = lm;
              }
          }
      }

      project.setNewProperty(attributes.get("property"), lastMod);
  </scriptdef>


  <!--

  <scriptdef name="long2date" language="javascript">
      <attribute name="pattern"/>
      <attribute name="value"/>
      <attribute name="property"/>
      // easier access to attributes
      pattern   = attributes.get("pattern");
      value     = attributes.get("value");

      // create a Date object from String

      result    = formatter.format(date);

      // store the result
      project.setNewProperty(propName, result);
  </scriptdef>


  <!-- example -->


  <!-- what's the latest date? -->
  <newest property="lastDate">
      <fileset dir="." includes="1"/>
      <fileset dir="." excludes="1"/>
  </newest>

  <!-- make it readable -->
  <long2date property="date" value="${lastDate}" pattern="yyyymmdd
HH:MM:ss"/>

  <!-- print the result -->
  <echo>lastDate = ${lastDate} = ${date}</echo>
