I have this structure
component1/Database1/...
component1/Code/...
component2/Database2/...
component2/Code/...
etc...
I want to create a zip that has this structure:
Database1/...
Database2/...
etc...
With this code:
<zip destfile="DB.zip"
basedir="BuildPath" includes="*/Database*/**">
</zip>
it creates:
component1/Database1/...
component2/Database2/...
Suggestions on how to get rid of the first directories?
Thanks
I figured out a way to get this done by first copying the files into a temp folder and then creating the zip file. I was not able so far to figure out how to combine the 2 steps into just one call to make it more efficient:
<copy todir="DBTemp" overwrite="false">
<fileset dir="${SourceDirectory}">
<include name="*/Database*/**" />
</fileset>
<cutdirsmapper dirs="1"/>
</copy>
<zip destfile="DB.zip" basedir="DBTemp" />
The functionality that I was definitely not aware when I posted this question was the "cutdirsmapper ". That allows me to create the structure in advance.
Why don't you try copying the folder structure to a temp folder and try zipping it?

What would be the best way to do this using an Ant task:
Start with a bunch of text files with names like this:
Filename_With_Underscores.txt
Another_Filename_With_Underscores.txt
Yet_Another_Filename_With_Underscores.txt
and turn them into this:
Filename+With+Underscores.txt
Another+Filename+With+Underscores.txt
Yet+Another+Filename+With+Underscores.txt
I actually need to change the identically-named folder that each text file is contained in also, that is, to start with this folder/file structure:
Filename_With_Underscores/Filename_With_Underscores.txt
and turn it into this:
Filename+With+Underscores/Filename+With+Underscores.txt
but I can handle that if I know how to rewrite the text file names.
I would know how to replace all underscores with plus signs in the contents of a file, using replaceregexp, but how do I do this to the folder and file names themselves?
I've used a mapper to rewrite folder and file names in the past, for example:
<target name="dita_wrap" description="Wraps each file in a folder with the same name as the file, copies all to new location">
<copy todir="output" verbose="true">
<fileset dir="source"
includes="*/*.dita" />
<regexpmapper handledirsep="true" from="^(.*)/([^/]*)\.dita$"
to="\1/\2/\2.dita" />
</copy>
</target>
However getting something like that to capture and replace each underscore in a filename, no matter how many underscores there might be, is eluding me. Any advice?
You need a <filtermapper>, for example:
<copy todir="output" verbose="true">
<fileset dir="source" includes="*/*.txt" />
<filtermapper>
<replacestring from="_" to="+"/>
</filtermapper>
</copy>
Works for me:
$> find . -type f
./build.xml
./source/Filename_With_Underscores/Filename_With_Underscores.txt
./output/Filename+With+Underscores/Filename+With+Underscores.txt
I have jar file having some properties files in it like log4j.properties and config.properties. Following is my ant script for yguard. Everything else is working but the properties file updation.
<target name="yguard">
<taskdef name="yguard" classname="com.yworks.yguard.YGuardTask" classpath="lib/yguard.jar" />
<yguard>
<inoutpairs resources="none">
<fileset dir="${basedir}">
<include name="MyApp.jar" />
</fileset>
<mapper type="glob" from="MyApp.jar" to="MyAppObs.jar" />
</inoutpairs>
<externalclasses>
<pathelement location="lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar" />
</externalclasses>
<rename conservemanifest="true" mainclass="com.amit.Application" >
<adjust replaceContent="true" >
<include name="**/*.properties" />
</adjust>
</rename>
</yguard>
</target>
config.properties file
com.amit.Application.param1 = something
I found some question in stackoverflow but they didn't help. One place it was mentioned that the file (like jsp, xml, properties) should be in the jar file which I already have. But my yguard obfuscated file just get the files copied as it is.
I tried many combinations with rename & adjust tags but nothing worked for me.
Following post I already visited
Is it possible to manage logs through Obfuscation with yGuard?
How to include obfuscated jar file into a war file
Apparently you want yGuard to obfuscate the name of the field param1, because com.amit.Application is obviously your entry point and yGuard excludes the given main class automatically. So basically you want the outcome to be something like
com.amit.Application.AÖÜF = something
This isn't possible, because yGuard can only adjust class names in property files, as state here: yGuard Manual
I've looked all over the net as to how I can load a list of files that contain spaces and don't yet exist with an Ant task.
I have a file that contains one file path per line, like so:
dir1/dir2/dir with spaces/file1.js
dir1/dir2/dir with spaces/dir3/file2.js
dir1/file1.js
Since the paths have spaces I cannot use:
<filelist files="..." />
The files also don't exist yet, so it seems like I can't use
<fileset>
<includesfile name="..." />
</fileset>
Any ideas would be greatly appreaciated.
You can use a resourcelist for this. For example, if your list of files are in a file called 'files.txt':
<resourcelist id="files">
<file file="files.txt"/>
</resourcelist>
<touch mkdirs="true">
<resources refid="files" />
</touch>
For me this yields:
[touch] Creating .../filelist/dir1/dir2/dir with spaces/file1.js
[touch] Creating .../filelist/dir1/dir2/dir with spaces/dir3/file2.js
[touch] Creating .../filelist/dir1/file1.js
The reason this works is that a <resourcelist> treats each line in the file read as a separate resource, so line separators rather than commas or spaces divide the items.
I have a directory tree that I need to process as follows:
I have a certain file that needs to be copied to a select few sub directories
A sub directory of interest is one that contains a file within which I can regex match a known search string
Ideally I would like to:
Perform a regex match across all files within a directory
If the regex matches, copy the file to that directory
The trouble is that I am quite new to ANT and I'm having difficulties finding my way around. I can't find any tasks in the docs about per directory operations based on regex search. The closest thing I've found is a regex replace task (<replaceregexp>) that can search and replace patterns across files.
Is this even possible? I'd really appreciate a sample to get started with. I apologize for requesting code - I simply don't know how to begin composing the tasks together to achieve this.
Alternatively I have the option of hardcoding all the copy operations per directory, but it would mean manually keeping everything in sync as my project grows. Ideally I'd like to automate it based on the regex search/copy approach I described.
Thanks!
Your requirement is a bit non-standard, so I've solved it using a custom Groovy task.
Here's a working example:
<project name="find-files" default="copy-files">
<!--
======================
Groovy task dependency
======================
-->
<path id="build.path">
<pathelement location="jars/groovy-all-1.8.6.jar"/>
</path>
<taskdef name="groovy" classname="org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovy" classpathref="build.path"/>
<!--
=========================
Search for matching files
=========================
-->
<target name="search-files">
<fileset id="filesContainingSearchString" dir="src">
<include name="**/*.txt"/>
<containsregexp expression="[4-6]\.[0-9]"/>
</fileset>
</target>
<!--
===================================
Copy file into each directory found
===================================
-->
<target name="copy-files" depends="search-files">
<groovy>
project.references.filesContainingSearchString.each { file ->
def dir = new File(file.toString()).parent
ant.copy(file:"fileToBeCopied.txt", toDir:dir)
}
</groovy>
</target>
</project>
Notes:
Groovy jar can be downloaded from Maven Central
Use the copy task with a fileset and regular expression selector :
<copy todir="your/target/dir">
<fileset dir="rootdir/of/your/directorytree" includes="**/*.txt">
<containsregexp expression="[4-6]\.[0-9]"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
This example is taken from the ant manual and slightly adapted.
Means select all files with .txt extension anywhere beyond rootdir/of/your/directorytree that match the regular expression (have a 4,5 or 6 followed by a period and a number from 0 to 9) and copy them to your/target/dir.
Just adapt it for your needs.
I have a file which has filepaths like "LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileY.txt", which I'm using as includesfile in Ant build. However, I'm in need of removing the "LibraryX/A/" part of the path DURING the copy process: The file gets copied from "LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileY.txt" and lands into "Stuff/FileY.txt". I've looked into few regexpmappers but haven't had any success with them at all. :/
The purpose for this is that the target folder can have custom files in "Stuff/MoreStuff" overwritten, and I want to use the overwrite="false" to keep the disk access into minimum and keeping the custom files intact.
Ant:
<copy todir="C:/targetdir/" overwrite="false">
<fileset dir="C:/sourcedir/">
<includesfile name="C:/targetdir/includes.file" />
</fileset>
</copy>
Includes.file:
LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileA.txt
LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileB.txt
LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileC.txt
LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileY.txt
Sourcedir:
sourcedir/LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileA.txt
sourcedir/LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileB.txt
sourcedir/LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileC.txt
sourcedir/LibraryX/A/Stuff/FileY.txt
Target dir:
targetdir/Stuff/FileY.txt
Now, all the files in Stuff -folder at sourcedir, should end into the Stuff -folder in targetdir. But how?
Bonus: If I move the files from "targetdir/LibraryX/A/Stuff", they will overwrite everything in the "targetdir/Stuff" folder, even with the overwrite="false". Presumably because they are newer files than the ones in the Stuff folder currently.
Note: I could, of course, move the custom files away from the target directory, copy the stuff over and then move the custom files back, overwriting the new ones. But this accesses the disk quite a lot, slowing down the process.
Starting with Ant v1.8.2 you can use the cutdirsmapper to strip some number of leading directories from file paths. See the very bottom of the mapper type docs.
<copy todir="C:/targetdir/" overwrite="false">
<fileset dir="C:/sourcedir/">
<includesfile name="C:/targetdir/includes.file" />
</fileset>
<cutdirsmapper dirs="2"/>
</copy>
Bonus: You could use the touch ant task to make all the files in targetdir newer than all the source files and therefore prevent them from being overwritten.
