Renaming files during ANT copy - ant

Question

I'd like to copy a directory of files, and rename some of them in the process.
When I run the script below, nothing copies.
If I comment the glob mappers in the file below, the files are copied (without the renaming)
Thanks for any help.

Resorted to a workaround, using "move", and the correct mapper type as indicated by Mnementh. Thanks

It seems, that the glob-mapper works only with one '*'. I would try the regexp-mapper:
<mapper type="regexp" from="(.*)PACKAGENAME(.*)" to="\1${package.name}\2"/>
<mapper type="regexp" from="(.*)GAMENAME(.*)" to="\1${game.name}\2"/>

Your problem is that you did not choose the right mapper: <chainedmapper> will pass information in chain from the first to the last mapper
Instead, <firstmatchmapper> should be used, which will try all mappers in turn, until one matches
Reference: http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/mapper.html
(quite an old question, but I just found searching for almost the same problem :-))
