Ok, I'll send it to the list later today. Just polishing it up a bit at the moment ;).

I think it's best to use a combination of the loop and regex tasks for cases where
input is to be obtained from files, lines in files or filesets. (The reason why loop
uses its own item="File" mechanism instead of using filesets eludes me. It should be
corrected, IMHO).
So, what Griffin wanted (extracting the filenames of xml files) can be accomplished as
such:
<foreach item="File" in="${xml.dir}" property="xml.filename">
<regex pattern="^(?'filename'.*).xml" input="${xml.filename}"/>
<style style="${xsl.dir}/StyleSheet.xsl"
in="${filename}.xml"
out="${filename}.html"/>
</foreach>
Best,
Arjen
