I have a zip file which has one base folder inside it with other content inside that. I don't always know what that base folder is going to be called until I unzip it.
I'd like to move that base folder, and rename it at the same time, in ant - but can't seem to find out how. I've written code to extract the contents of the zip file to ${local.sdk.dir}/temp/ but from here i can't work out how to rename/move the extracted folder
<move todir="${local.sdk.dir}/${remote.sdk.file.name}">
<fileset dir="${local.sdk.dir}/temp/<WHAT_DO_I_PUT_HERE?>"></fileset>
</move>
also tried
<move todir="${local.sdk.dir}/${remote.sdk.file.name}" includeEmptyDirs="yes" verbose="true">
<fileset dir="${local.sdk.dir}/temp/" >
<include name="**/*" />
</fileset>
</move>
and played about with this, but closest I can get without ant throwing an error is to copy the contents of the temp dir, not the base folder within temp.
You can do all this in one step - copy from the zip file and rename the files changing the dir name as you copy. The copy task accepts a nested resource collection, so you can use a zipfileset to specify the files to copy directly from the zip file.
In order to rename the files as they are copied, you can use a mapper, which the copy task also takes as a nested element. In this case, a cutsdirmapper looks like the tool for the job.
So, if I've understood what you want to do correctly, something like this should work:
<copy todir="${local.sdk.dir}/${remote.sdk.file.name}">
<zipfileset src="${your.zip.file}" />
<cutdirsmapper dirs="1" />
</copy>
cutdirsmapper is only available in Ant 1.8.2 onward, so if you're using an earlier version, you could try a regexpmapper:
<regexpmapper from="[^/]*(.*)" to="\1" />
Similar to this question
<target name="relocate_sdk_folder">
<path id="sdk_folder_name">
<dirset dir="${local.sdk.dir}/temp/">
<include name="*"/>
</dirset>
</path>
<property name="sdk_folder_name" refid="sdk_folder_name" />
<echo message="renaming ${sdk_folder_name} to ${remote.sdk.file.name}" />
<move file="${sdk_folder_name}" tofile="${local.sdk.dir}/${remote.sdk.file.name}" />
</target>

I am trying to use ANT to copy some files of a C++ build into another directory.
The output of the build looks like this:
/Build
/LibA
LibA.lib
LibA.pdb
/LibB
LibB.lib
LibB.pdb
/ProjA
myexe.exe
myexe.pdb
/Foo
foo.exe
foo.pdb
/...
Now, I would like to copy all *.exe files and their *.pdb files to another directory (but not the *.pdb files of the libs).
I tried with:
<copy todir="outdir">
<fileset dir="Build">
<include name="**/*.exe" />
<include name="**/*.pdb" />
</fileset>
</copy>
However, then I will also get the *.pdb files inside the LibA, LibB, ... folders.
Is there any way I can only copy the pdb-files which have an *.exe-file in the same directory as their sibling?
Unfortunately, the folders are not named in any way that would allow using wildcards based on the folder name.
Of course, I could list each file individually, such as:
<include name="ProjA/*.pdb" />
<include name="Foo/*.pdb" />
<!-- ... -->
However, I am thinking that maybe there is an elegant way where I can specify "copy all *.exe files and all *.pdb files which have an *.exe file next to them".
You could use the <present> selector to find the "sibling" files, something like this:
<copy todir="outdir">
<fileset dir="Build" includes="**/*.pdb">
<present targetdir="Build">
<mapper type="glob" from="*.pdb" to="*.exe" />
</present>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="Build" includes="**/*.exe" />
<flattenmapper />
</copy>
This will only copy the .pdb files with matching .exe files.
To keep it simple, use a separate fileset for the exe files.
The flatten mapper is only needed if you want to copy just the files ignoring the directory structure in the source.
I want to unzip a file, but if some file exists, this mustn´t be replaced.
I tried this:
<unzip src="compress.zip" dest="dirTo" overwrite="false">
<patternset>
<include name="dirFrom/**"/>
</patternset>
"dirFrom", is the name from the directory IN the compress file, what I want to extract. I use "overwrite" to false, but it doesn´t work, and it ovewrites.
I have a directory, and this has different subdirectories. I want one of those subdirectories, with it´s files and sub-subdirectories.
I found how to do it.
1st, I extract everything to auxiliar directory.
2nd, I make a loop, to compare file by file, if that file exists.
3rd, If the file doesn´t exists, I copy it.
<unzip src="compressFile.zip" dest="dirAux">
<patternset>
<include name="mySubDir/**"/>
</patternset>
</unzip>
<fileset id="fileset1" dir="dirAux/mySubDir" />
<property name="newContentMySubDir" refid="fileset1"/>
<for param="nameFile" list="${newContentMySubDir}" delimiter=";">
<sequential>
<if>
<not><available file="${finalDir}/mySubDir/#{nameFile}" type="file"/></not>
<then>
<copy tofile="${finalDir}/mySubDir/#{nameFile}" file="dirAux/mySubDir/#{nameFile}"/>
</then>
</if>
</sequential>
</for>
Setting overwrite to false will only prevent to overwrite destination file if it is newer than source file. For more complex filtering, you have to use copy task with a zipfilset as it is explain in ant documentation (see unzip task -- in section Related tasks). For exemple, following code should not extract files from a zip file if they already exist in the destination directory (respecting source directories layout):
<copy todir="${target.dir}">
<zipfileset src="${zip.file}">
<patternset>
<include name="**/*.*"/>
</patternset>
<present targetdir="${target.dir}" present="srconly"/>
</zipfileset>
</copy>
I have a task that needs to copy over files to a certain location. If the files already exist in the destination, these destination files need to be renamed (appended with .bak). If the destination file doesn't exist, the file should just be put into place.
Currently I have this:
<target name="install-jsps">
<copy todir="target">
<fileset dir="source"/>
<globmapper from="*.jsp" to="*.jsp.bak"/>
</copy>
</target>
This however renames the source files while I want to rename the target files before copying over the source files. I cannot do a rename of the whole target folder because some target files are not in the source fileset.
Preferably I don't want to use an external library like ant-contrib.
You can do it in two copy tasks: one to make the backups, one to copy in the new files from the source. The extra bit you need is the present selector in the fileset used to make the backup. The selector allows you to only back up the files that are about to be superceded, i.e. the ones that are present in the source directory.
<copy todir="dest">
<fileset dir="dest" includes="*.jsp">
<present targetdir="source" />
</fileset>
<globmapper from="*" to="*.bak" />
</copy>
<copy todir="dest">
<fileset dir="source" includes="*.jsp" />
</copy>
So I have a bunch of Jars in a directory that look like this:
library_2.4.3.jar 2/3/2012
library_3.0.1.jar 9/1/2012
api.lib_10.3.jar 3/2/2011
api.lib_12.4.5.jar 6/9/2012
I have already written the following using Ant 1.7 to copy the jars to where I want them and strip away the version number from the file
<copy todir="${lib.dir}" overwrite="true">
<fileset dir="${plugins.dir}">
<include name="library*.jar" />
<include name="api.lib*.jar" />
</fileset>
<regexpmapper from="(.*)_(.*).jar" to="\1.jar"/>
</copy>
The problem I'm running into is that I want it to copy the newer version of the file. Right now it seems to be copying only the older files. I have looked into the <sort> and <TimestampSelector> tasks but those are not supported under the copy task.
What can I do to copy the newer versions of the file?
Do not put them under the copy task directly... Create the property and use the property in the copy tag...
<timestampselector property="latest.modified">
<path>
<fileset dir="${my-directory.dir}">
<include name="file-*" />
</fileset>
</path>
</timestampselector>
<copy todir="." file="${latest.modified}">
Hope, it works.
I have a zip file and, separately, a directory that contains some files. From the zip file I'd like to extract only those files that exist in the directory (performing a filename transformation on the files as they are being extracted..basically, I'm making backups of those files).
There is no problem doing something similar with a <copy> that has a fileset with a <present> element, but it doesn't seem to be working for me with unzip:
<unzip src="${cur.srcdir.live}" dest="${cur.srcdir.archive-files.dir}" overwrite="true">
<fileset dir=".">
<present present="both" targetdir="${cur.srcdir}" />
<type type="file" />
</fileset>
<globmapper from="*" to="*.${backup.suffix}" />
</unzip>
Has anyone done something like this before? This is Ant 1.8.0. Thanks!
I was able to solve my problem by "faking" the <present> selector that can be used in <copy>. Here's how:
First I used pathconvert to create a list of the files in my folder:
<pathconvert property="extract.list" pathsep="
">
<path>
<fileset dir="${extract.src.dir}" includes="${extract.src.dir.relpath}">
<type type="file" />
</fileset>
</path>
<map from="${extract.src.dir}\" to="" />
</pathconvert>
Notice the user of a map to have the list be relative paths instead of absolute paths. Plus, the delimiter is a newline.
Then this list gets written to a file:
<echo file="${props.tmp.file}" message="~~~~noop~~~~
${extract.list}" append="false" />
I put that "nooop" entry in there so that the file always has at least one line. This is important because of our next step where we use this as an includesfile. If the includesfile is empty, Ant interprets that as "allow anything"...but we want to make sure that an empty list results in nothing getting extracted from the zip.
Last step is to extract from the zip using our temp file from above as an includes file. The globmapper renames the files upon extraction, to the appropriate backup names:
<unzip src="${extract.archive}" dest="${extract.dest.dir}" overwrite="true">
<patternset>
<includesfile name="${props.tmp.file}" />
</patternset>
<globmapper from="*" to="*.${backup.suffix}" />
</unzip>
Adding this here in case someone needs to change the directory structure on extraction. I've spent so much trying to make this working. Ant Unzip task accepts cutdirsmapper.
<unzip dest="${build.dir}/packages">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}/packages" includes="*.pkg" />
<!-- Exctract build folder contents also moving one level up. -->
<cutdirsmapper dirs="1" />
<patternset>
<include name="build/" />
</patternset>
</unzip>
You can try calling unzip command via exec task.
The sample that I checked on Windows that refresh only changed files in dest.folder:
<property name="zip.file_name" value="Archive.zip"/>
<property name="src.folder" value="d:\"/>
<property name="dest.folder" value="d:\55"/>
<target name="unzip">
<echo>unzip -fo ${src.folder}${zip.file_name}</echo>
<exec dir="${dest.folder}" executable="cmd.exe" output="${src.folder}operation_result.txt">
<arg line="/c unzip -fo ${src.folder}${zip.file_name}"/>
</exec>
</target>
If you want to stay your original files you can use this command:
<arg line="/c unzip -foB ${src.folder}${zip.file_name}"/>
In case using -B parameter your original files (stored in folder) will be renamed - the tilde symbol will be appended. You get two sets of files - extracted from archive and old original files.
After that you can rename files with the help of move task.
