You mean:
<xmltask source="*.xml" todir="."> ?
Yes, this works fine.
ARGH, so does source="**/file.xml" (now, anyways)
Why didn't this work yesterday????
so, to be clear, this works now :
<xmltask todir=".">
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="**/file.xml" />
</fileset>
<replace path="/path/to/text()" withText="DanaTest"/>
</xmltask>
I'm sorry for asking questions about something that works. I must've had a
typo somewhere or something!
Thanks again,
Dana Lacoste

So what happens if you do the suggested toDir, but set the dir to the same
directory that you're reading from. I suspect this should work.

Well, no: I didn't explain myself clearly :)
I want to update several XML files _in place_ : I don't want an "output"
directory, because then I'll have to find a way to put the files back in their
original location :)
so, if I do source=file.xml and dest=file.xml it overwrites the original file
with the change.
If I do source=**/file.xml without a dest= it doesn't actually do anything.
If I do source=**/file.xml and dest=**/file.xml it doesn't do anything (which
makes sense: how can you have multiple outputs? :) )
If I use <fileset> with a wildcard <include name="**/file.xml"> then it doesn't
do anything either (without the dest being set to a file, it seems to use
buffers exclusively)
I've guessed that maybe I could somehow do a <fileset> to obtain the list and
then iterate over that list with xmltask, but that seems backwards (and I can't
figure out how to make that work cleanly)
Thanks!

>From the manual:
<xmltask todir="output">
<fileset dir=".">
<includes name="*.xml"/>
.....
reads from the XML files in the current dir and writes to the same filenames in
the output dir.
So you need to identify the directory to write to, and it'll process each file
and write the results to the specified directory.

So I can do this:
<xmltask source=file1.txt dest=file1.txt>
with a <replace> task and update that file's content.
Is there a way I can do this with multiple files?
i.e. when I set "source" to **/*.xml (for example) it doesn't actually change
anything if I don't set dest as well (I'm guessing it's setting output to a
buffer, which I'm not reading so I don't see any change to the files)
(this is true if I do it as a source= or as a <fileset><include>)
Any suggestions?
