I have written a task to concatenate files but want to do it better (in a more platform independent way) as it currently relies on "cat" being an available executable. Can anyone tell me how to do this using the <concat> task or anything? <target name="-pre-compile"> <apply executable="cat"> <arg value="${web.docbase.dir}/header.html "/> <srcfile/> <arg value="${web.docbase.dir}/footer.html "/> <fileset dir="${web.docbase.dir}/" includes="*.html.part" excludes="" /> <mapper type="glob" from="*.html.part" to="*.html"/> <redirector> <outputmapper id="out" type="glob" from="*.html.part" to="${build.web.dir}/*.html"/> </redirector> </apply> </target> Many thanks, Mat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
