If I have to do something which I can't easily do with standard Ant tasks I use the script task, usually with JavaScript. There, you can do whatever computations you want and pass the result to the outer script via project properties. In you case this would be parsing a date computing (and formatting) another date. The rest (file moving in your case) is done with the standard ant tasks.

Hello, I am trying to automate my environment a little more and thought to do the following: In directory $foo$ take file [\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d zzz_today.ico] and rename it to [yyyy-mm-dd zzz_today.ico] filling in the actual current date. Further I'd like to rename another file [\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d zzz_one week.ico] to [yyyy-mm-dd zzz_one week.ico], obviously meaning the actual current date plus seven days. Guess I should be able to do it with some form of <move todir="$foo$"...> <mapper type="regexp" .../> </move> but I am somewhat lost. I'd like to do it with the tasks provided if possible instead of writing my own task. All kinds of help/ advice/ examples appreciated, of course. thx, Erik
