Re: Dynamically increase the number of arguments to EXEC task based on the number and name of the file(s) in a directory.

[Heikki Qvist]

Hi,

I have similar issue. A lot of list files which are used to generate 
real filenames.

How to do extending these (eg. src,doc,bin,testsuite) to 
Linux_BUILDNUMBER_src.zip etc without hardcoding lits items? Their 
amount may differ in different branches also naming convention how final 
published names put together may change every now and then. Really want 
to normalize my configuration.

So what I am looking for is some xargs-like behaviour.

Hello All,

 

Requirement: Dynamically increase the number of arguments to EXEC task
based on the number and name of the file in a directory.

 

For example a sample directory contains the following files with
extension "*.rod" (Number of rod files in the "src" directory
dynamically change): 

C:\src> dir /b *.rod

Details.rod

Info.rod

Summary.rod

 

Right now, I'm hard coding the file names in arguments to EXEC task in
the following way

<target name="erdpro">

            <condition property="erdpro.client.dir" value="C:\Program
Files\Actuate8\eRDPro\bin" >

              <os family="windows"/>

            </condition>       

 

            <echo> Compiling ROD files. Please wait...</echo>

            <exec dir="${erdpro.client.dir}"
executable="${erdpro.client.dir}/erdpro" >

                        <arg value="-b"/>

                        <arg value=" Details.rod" />

                        <arg value=" Info.rod" />

                        <arg value=" Summary.rod" />

            </exec>

</target>

 

Above target is good when I hardcode the files to the "arg". I want to
dynamically add "arg" values based on the number and name of the file. I
want to know how I can achieve my requirement. (Should I use marcodef?
If so how?)

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mohan
