Is it possible somehow using the pathconvert task to translate one relative path to another, given a "reference point"?
E.g. Given the following directory structure: modules/mymodule/resources/css/something.css I have relative paths in something.css like the following: background-image: url(../images/image.gif); I am copying and concating the CSS with another CSS, located in: apps/myapp/resources/css/somethingelse.css The base dir for the entire project is the root which contains both apps and modules. (/ in this case) I want to replace the ../images/image.gif in something.css with another relative path, relative to apps/myapp/resources/css (the somethingelse.css file), e.g: ../../../../modules/mymodule/resources/images/image.gif If possible, it should have support for nested directories within resources/css, so that resources/css/dir1/dir2/something.css will have its paths translated correctly with the appropriate number of ../ prefixes. That way, the image will be able to be found when both CSS are concated together in its new location in apps/myapp/resources/css/, and I won't have to resort to using absolute paths. Is this at all possible using pathconvert and a map or sorts? Or would I be better of creating my own custom task? Any pointers appreciated. Thanks!
