Hello,
I got interested and I wrote a sample build script,
following Matt's instructions:
<project>
<fileset dir="${basedir}" id="xml.files">
<include name="*.xml"/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="" refid="xml.files"
setonempty="true"
property="aaa.xml.files">
<mergemapper to="a"/>
</pathconvert>
<echo>${aaa.xml.files}</echo>
<length property="count.xml.files"
string="${aaa.xml.files}"/>
<echo>${count.xml.files}</echo>
</project>
Regards
Ivan
