Hi,
probably some obvious answer :-) but I cant find it.
I have a fileset, and i have a variable defining includes, and one defining
excludes. The fileset is created like this. This works fine.
<fileset dir="${context.getVariable(dir_var_name)}" id="my.files">
<!-- Includes -->
<j:set var="include_var_name" value="my.fileset.include"/>
<j:if test="${context.getVariable(include_var_name) != null}">
<include name="${context.getVariable(include_var_name)}"/>
</j:if>
<!-- Excludes -->
<j:set var="exclude_var_name" value="my.fileset.exclude"/>
<j:if test="${context.getVariable(exclude_var_name) != null}">
<exclude name="${context.getVariable(exclude_var_name)}"/>
</j:if>
</fileset>
I now want to pass all of these files into a java task as command line args.
I'm getting lots of problems whenever I have spaces in the directory or file
names.
I've tried
<pathconvert pathsep=";" property="theCommandLineFiles" refid="my.files"/>
which will semicolon separate my files for me ... ok, but how do I then get
these as command line args on a <java> task ?
<java classname="myApplication" failonerror="true" fork="true">
...
<arg path="${theCommandLineFiles}"/>
</ant:java>
which passes them in with either : or ; as a separator (which isn't what I
want). I need each file to be a separate argument to the application. Is
there some way of iterating through the fileset or some other way of
achieving this so that I get the spaces preserved in the arguments and the
correct number of arguments etc.
Thanks in advance!
