Hello,
I am trying to automate my environment a little more and thought to do
the following:
In directory $foo$ take file [\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d zzz_today.ico] and
rename it to [-mm-dd zzz_today.ico] filling in the actual current
date. Further I'd like to rename another file [\d\d\d\d-\d\d-
> In directory $foo$ take file [\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d zzz_today.ico] and
> rename it to <... something not trivial ...>
If I have to do something which I can't easily do with standard Ant
tasks I use the script task, usually with JavaScript. There, you can do
whatever computations you want and pas
Yeah, thx. Guess writing my own task would not have been a lot different
but following your advice this does it for me (with a little
simplification added by delting and copying rather than renaming [and
ignoring different length of months which is more appropriate for my use
case anyways]):
If it works for you then it's fine. I'd do it a little bit differently.
I'd use the script to only calculate the date strings and would perform
copying/deletion by the standard ant tasks (copy/...). I strive to use
script tasks for as little as possible in ant scripts.
