So far I've come up with the following, but I'm just wondering if this is the best way to accomplish what I want, given that it seems a bit of a kludge to use the pathconvert task to extract a string from filenames and put it in a property. <pathconvert property="project.version.full" > <path> <fileset dir="${src.dir}" > <include name="**/*.rpm" /> <exclude name="**/*debuginfo*.rpm" /> </fileset> </path> <chainedmapper> <flattenmapper/> <filtermapper> <replaceregex pattern="${ant.project.name}-(.+)\.(.+)\.rpm" replace="\1"/> </filtermapper> </chainedmapper> </pathconvert> -- Regards, Darragh Bailey --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
