Just use a fileset. You can't make it be "just one file", because
commons-io-*.jar
has the potential of being several files.
<fileset dir = "c:\mydir">
<filename name = "commons-io*.jar" />
</fileset>

Hi experts!
Is there a way to search for a file matching a condition and assign
it to a
variable ?
Basically I want something like :
<task dir="c:\mydir" filter="commons-io-*.jar"
output_variable="my_variable"
/>
my_variable should contain the list of jar files in C:\mydir that
match the
pattern "commons-io-*.jar".
In my project, since C:\mydir will contain only one file matching
commons-io-*.jar my_variable will effectively contain only one file
name.
My actual requirement :
copy the commons io jar ( now commons-io-1.3.2.jar ) to commons-
io.jar.
The jar may get updated over time with the newer version of commons
io, but
i should not need to have to change the ant build.xml.
I thought I could get this done if I managed to capture the name of
the
commons-io-*.jar in a variable and passed it as a parameter to
<copy> task.
Is there a way to accomplish this ?
Any pointers is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Hari
