I'm trying to code up an <APPLY> in ANT.
I need to run a utility which takes 2 parameters, 1) a source file name
(<srcfile/>), and 2) something derived from the source file name (<arg
value="...">). The output of this program is a file, whose name is
derived from the source file name (<targetfile/>, which is used for
timestamp checking.
My problem is deriving the 2nd parameter. I can't use a <mapper>
because it is already in use to handle <srcfile/> and <targetfile/>.
Does <srcfile/> ever get put into a property that I can access? Then it
would be simple. I can add <arg value="blahblahblah${srcfile}">
Otherwise, I think I am stuck. Although I could alter the utility to
accept 'blahblahblah' as a parameter and derive parm 2 myself in the
utility, I would rather not do that. I'd just as soon go back to Make.
Also, ant apprently won't allow me to specify <srcfile/> twice.
loose Example of what I'm tyring...
<apply executable="utility" relative="true">
<srcfile/>
<arg value="blah${srcfile}/> ****problem here****
<fileset refid="sourceFiles"/>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.in" to="*.in.done"/>
</apply>
Any hints?
Thanks..
