Subject: how to use <first>?
/*
Hello,
I want to copy a set of files to a directory which is dynamically generated.
I know only a part of name of that directory, it looks like this "tmp*abc":
tmp24235abc
tmp76957abc
tmp556abc
tmp6344abc
I need to copy files to a directory which has latest creation date. I guess
it would be possible with <sort> and <first> elements but I have no idea how
to use it? This example
*/
if you're able to use antcontrib, you use the timestampselector like that =
<timestampselector property="most.recent.dir" count="1">
<path>
<dirset dir="Y:/">
<include name="tmp*" />
</dirset>
</path>
</timestampselector>
<echo>$${most.recent.dir} = ${most.recent.dir}</echo>
and the most.recent.dir property has the directory
you're are searching for.
Don't know if there's an alternative with ant 1.7.1, as i still
use ant 1.6.5 and still had no time to explore the new features.
Regards, Gilbert
