******** "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

Defining location of files and dirs with location
attribute comes vary handy when one deals with
mappers. This attribute allows you to cite the files
with their relative (to ${basedir}) names and yet Ant
deals works with their absolute paths taking care of
slashes and backslashes.

I believe you can do it:
<pathconvert property="all.files"
pathsep="${line.separator}"
refid="all.files.fs">
<globmapper
from="${basedir}${file.separator}*" to="@*"/>
</pathconvert>

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>)

Ivan
