Thanks for this idea!
The problem is that the input list is of unknown size, and I could not find
a regexp that will convert all items in this list correctly (I bet this can
be done).
So I came up with the following solution using <for>, <var> and
<propertyregex>:
<var name="dependencies.path" value="" />
<property name="input.list" value="aaa,bbb,ccc" />
<target name="calculate-dependencies-path" description="Converts the
input.list comma-seperated list to dependencies.path">
<for param="item" list="${input.list}">
<sequential>
<propertyregex property="item.path"
override="true"
input="@{item}"
regexp="(.+)"
replace="**/\1\/"
casesensitive="false"/>
<var name="dependencies.path"
value="${dependencies.path},${item.path}" />
</sequential>
</for>
<echo>RESULT: ${dependencies.path}</echo>
</target>
This prints
RESULT: ,**/aaa/,**/bbb/,**/ccc/
If there is an easier solution using one line regexp I would gladly use it,
as this is somewhat cumbersome.
Thanks!
