Hi All,
I ran across "$.." in an Ant file and am trying to understand what it
does. Can't find any documentation. So basic as to not require explanation?
When I run a C:\Projects\build.xml file with this code in it:
<property name="projects.dir" value="$.." />
<dirname property="projects.dirname" file="${projects.dir}"/>
<dirname property="logfiledirname" file="${projects.dir}\AntLog.log"/>
<echo message="${projects.dir}"/>
<echo message="${projects.dirname}"/>
<echo message="${projects.dir}\AntLog.log"/>
<echo message="${logfiledirname}"/>
I get this:
[echo] $..
[echo] c:\Projects
[echo] $..\AntLog.log
[echo] c:\Projects\$..
The first three echoes would make sense to me if $.. indicated the
current directory, but a single dot does that. What's the difference?
The fourth echo doesn't make sense to me at all...
