I have a populated fileset and I need to print the matching filenames into a text file.
I tried this:
<fileset id="myfileset" dir="../sounds">
<include name="*.wav" />
<include name="*.ogg" />
</fileset>
<property name="sounds" refid="myfileset" />
<echo file="sounds.txt">${sounds}</echo>
which prints all the files on a single line, separated by semicolons. I need to have one file per line. How can I do this without resorting to calling OS commands or writing Java code?
UPDATE:
Ah, should have been more specific - the list must not contain directories. I'm marking ChssPly76's as the accepted answer anyway, since the pathconvert command was exactly what I was missing. To strip the directories and list only the filenames, I used the "flatten" mapper.
Here is the script that I ended up with:
<fileset id="sounds_fileset" dir="../sound">
<include name="*.wav" />
<include name="*.ogg" />
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="
" property="sounds" refid="sounds_fileset">
<mapper type="flatten" />
</pathconvert>
<echo file="sounds.txt">${sounds}</echo>
Since Ant 1.6 you can use toString:
Use the PathConvert task:
