******** "master.sql" using target "masterlist" ***** @temp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/temp1.ind @temp4/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/temp2.seq @temp5/temp5.seq ******** Now the issue is while appending files together in the master list. I want to know how I can use concatfilter to append the output of the next text file in a new line in target file? i.e., the final output of the target file should look like the following: ------- Final "master.sql" ---- @temp/temp.tab @temp1/temp1.ind @temp4/temp4.ind @temp2/temp2.trg @temp5/temp5.trg -------- Thanks, Mohan -----Original Message----- From: Ivan "Rambius" Ivanov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 9:11 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Create a file that contains files in directory Hello, --- "Guttula, Mohan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The issue was with relative path in the base > directory. i.e., > <property name="master_base" value="release"/> > > Issue is resolved by using IVAN suggestion which is > as follows: > ----- > <property name="master_base" location="release"/> > ----- Defining location of files and dirs with location attribute comes vary handy when one deals with mappers.

In the examples above, we use <fileset>s which collects the files in a random way, which is not controlled by Ant, but by the underlying OS. If you deal only with not so many different extensions you can define <fileset>s for each of them and repeat pathconvert + mapper trick for each <fileset> (and that sounds like a <macrodef>) Regards Ivan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
