Yeah...that's what happens when you tweak sample code to demonstrate something...you always mix up something
With a unit="week" the offset should only be offset="1" (or maybe -1) for next week. The confusion you got on the sample you wrote (the bizzare date of 19/15/2007) comes from the lowercase 'mm' you used in your pattern string....lowercase 'mm' is minutes, I believe you meant month which is uppercase MM You will notice that your 'month' value (19) matches the minutes value 09:19 PM Later, Ninju ----- Original Message ---- From: Gilbert Rebhan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ant Users List <user@ant.apache.org> Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 3:33:59 PM Subject: Re: How to set the next week start date Hi, Ninju Bohra wrote: > Have you looked at the <tstamp> task > (http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/tstamp.html) > > Maybe something like: > > <tstamp> > <format property="touch.time" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" > offset="7" unit="week"/> > </tstamp> i tried that on Win2000, with jdk 1.5.0_11 ant 1.6.5 <project name="project" default="main"> <target name="depends"> <tstamp> <format property="touch.time" pattern="mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" offset="7" unit="week"/> </tstamp> </target> <target name="main" depends="depends"> <echo> Antversion == ${ant.version} Today == ${TODAY} $${touch.time} == ${touch.time} </echo> </target> </project> and it gave me = Buildfile: J:\eclipse_3_2\workspace\AntTest\tstamp.xml depends: main: [echo] Antversion == Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005 [echo] Today == April 27 2007 [echo] [echo] ${touch.time} == 19/15/2007 09:19 PM BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 156 milliseconds hm, strange 19/15/2007 ?? i think you meant something like = <tstamp> <format property="touch.time" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" offset="-7" unit="day"/> </tstamp> or <tstamp> <format property="touch.time" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" offset="7" unit="day"/> </tstamp> similar to the example from manual : <tstamp> <format property="touch.time" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm aa" offset="-5" unit="hour"/> </tstamp> but that gives him the actual date minus | plus 7 days. > Also when you say 'set the current date' what does that mean? > If you want to calculate what '7 days from now and set it to an ANT > property' >please look at the <tstamp> task otherwise please provide more >explaination on what you need. I thought the original poster was asking for "... the next weeks start date and last week start date ..." because of that i suggested the <script> solution, where he can choose, whether the start day of week = sunday or monday. Otherwise the </tstamp> would fit of course. So he should provide some more details ;-) Regards, Gilbert > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Satheesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Ant Users List <user@ant.apache.org> > Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 4:51:12 AM > Subject: How to set the next week start date > > > Hi Guys, If i want to set the current date its possible in ANT , even if i > want a date which is some 'n' days after the current date, that also is > possible.. > > I need a way to set the value of the next weeks start date and last week > start date using ANT. > > How can i achieve this/// --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
