Hey! I didn't know you can use Javascript in Ant, (not that I know 
Javascript well, but still..) it's cool.
Thanks

The upcase part can be done with <script>.

How do I get just the last element of the current
directory.
Suppose basedir = dira/dirb/dirc. (Or any path for
that matter.)
  

       

Whatever is "the current directory"--${user.dir}?
${basedir}?... You can use the basename task to get
the last element of a path.
     

I have used basename for filenames without realizing that it 
also works 
for directory names.
Thanks.

   

I need a property to = "Dirc". (1st character
uppercased, if possible.)
  

       

Changing case is more problematical.  I would either
try ant-contrib's propertyregex (though I'm not good
with changing case in regular expressions either),
write something in Java, or deal with the case as-is. 
Others might use a script.

     

Thanks. I need to explore regex, I guess.
   

For the pros out there it should be 123, but for
me... forget it!
  

       

HTH,
Matt
