Hi,
pathconvert can be used to perform "String manipulation" on filesets or
pathes.
The following would echo a linebreak seperated list of the files:
(append after the previous example)
<pathconvert property ="result.prop" refid="result"
pathsep="${line.separator}">
<globmapper from="${basedir}/checksums/*.MD5"
to="${basedir}/src/*"/>
</pathconvert>
<echo>${result.prop}</echo>
For further manipulation as a fileset you could pathconvert to a comma
seperated list an stuff it back into a fileset.
For example to copy the changed files to backupDir:
<pathconvert property="backup.prop" refid="result" pathsep=",">
<globmapper from="${basedir}/checksums/*.MD5" to="*"/>
</pathconvert>
<copy todir="backupDir">
<fileset dir="src" includes="${backup.prop}"/>
</copy>
I don't know of o easier way to convert pathes into filesets.
Best regards
Martin
