Matt,
You did correctly understand the problem I am trying to solve.
I will look into the <for> that you mentioned.
However, my problem could be easily solved if I could access the value
of the current <srcfile/> via a property. That is, if whatever
<srcfile/> resolves to during an iteration of <APPLY> could also be
accessed by property ${srcfile}.
Same is true for <targetfile/>, but I personally have no use for that (yet).
Thanks..

So your utility requires, for the file "foo.in", e.g.:
utility foo.in blahfoo.in
but the target file is determined automatically?
(<mapper> w/o <targetfile>)
In this case I might have to recommend antcontrib's
<for>. Even if we added the ability to duplicate
<srcfile> and/or <targetfile>, "foo.in" would still be
a separate argument from "blah".

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..
