Hi! I finally found my solution in the archives - but i think of it missing a lot of beauty ant intuitivity :(
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-user/200604.mbox/<5ea470920604061311l69be9500h39fef9f322a207f%40mail.gmail.com> what i expected the apply task to have is some possibility to store srcfile value and targetfile value in properties. e.g.: - a attribute "srcproperty" in which property to store the srcfile value - a attribute "targetproperty" in which property to store the targetfile value thus writing something like this would become possible: <apply executable="sh"> <srcfile/> <arg value="file://${srcfile}"> <targetfile/> <mapper type="glob" from="*.in" to="*.in.done"/> </apply> and even i miss some echoing for each applied file - e.g. something like inserting <echo message="processing file ${srcfile}"> all then becomes: <apply executable="sh"> <echo message="processing file ${srcfile}"> <srcfile/> <arg value="file://${srcfile}"> <targetfile/> <mapper type="glob" from="*.in" to="*.in.done"/> </apply> in make's Makefile this all would be even more simple: %.in: %.in.done echo "processing file $<" sh $< file://$< $@ best regards!
