Hi, I have two directories: - xmldocs with files named abc<pattern>def.xml - txtdocs with files named rst<pattern>uvw.txt
There's a command which converts xml to txt, f.e. abc001def.xml to rst001uvw.txt. I'm looking for a rule that for every xml file in xmldocs looks in txtdocs for the corresponding txt-version of the file. If it is older or doesn't exist then it has to be made. Something like: xmldocs/abc%def.xml: txtdocs/rst%uvw.txt convert $@ $< I tried this, but you have to call make for every file in xmldocs. I would like make to detect new(er) xml files and convert them to txt automatically. I'm using version 3.8 on Windows XP. With kindly regards, Douwe. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
