Using ant, rename a directory without knowing the full path?
- by mixonic
Howdy friends,
Given a zipfile with an unknown directory, how can I rename or move that directory to a normalized path?
<!-- Going to fetch some stuff -->
<target name="get.remote">
<!-- Get the zipfile -->
<get src="http://myhost.com/package.zip"
dest="package.zip"/>
<!-- Unzip the file -->
<unzip src="package.zip"
dest="./"/>
<!-- Now there is a package-3d28djh3 directory. The part after package- is
a hash and cannot be known ahead of time -->
<!-- Remove the zipfile -->
<delete file="package.zip"/>
<!-- Now we need to rename "package-3d28djh3" to "package". My best attempt
is below, but it just moves package-3d28djh3 into package instead of
renaming the directory. -->
<!-- Make a new home for the contents. -->
<mkdir dir="package" />
<!-- Move the contents -->
<move todir="package/">
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="package-*/*"/>
</fileset>
</move>
</target>
I'm not much of an ant user, any insight would be helpful.
Thanks much, -Matt
