Java - and therefore Ant - stores the newline in java.line.separator.
You can access it with ${java.line.separator}.
(Because that=B4s so long I usually define a short cut for this - like =
<br> in
HTML:
    <property name=3D"br" value=3D"${java.line.separator}"/>
)


I think you should try a kind of this

<foreach target=3D"newversion" param=3D"thisEnv">
    <path>
        <dirset dir=3D"theDirectoryWhereYouWantToDoThe_ls_" />
    </path>
</foreach>

Betreff: foreach directory copy question

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to copy the contents of a master directory to several client =

directories as part of my build.
The requirements include not to overwrite some of the existing client =
build=20
sub dirs.

I read the archieves and saw a section on the topic and Simon was kind=20
enough to send me some examples using foreach.

However I am having a hard time understanding some of it and would =
greatly=20
appreciate your assistance.

So to begin the masterdir
I also need to know how to change the delimiter in the foreach to new =
line=20
rather than coma. So I may use the out put form unix 'ls'

delimiter=3D? what is the ant symbol for newline?

I'd like to do the list from a Unix ls cmd to get a current listing of =
the=20
new client directories each time the build is run.


<foreach list=3D"${dev.env}"
                delimiter=3D""
                target=3D"newversion"
                param=3D"thisEnv">

  </foreach>


  <target name=3D"newversion">
        <echo message=3D"environment: ${thisEnv}"/>
        <copy todir=3D"${builddir}/${thisEnv}">
            <fileset dir=3D"${masterdir}"/>
        </copy>
            </target>


I believe I have to add a filset exclude for the sub directories I do =
not=20
want copied.


I tried to use wildcards but ant actually made directories named '**'.
;)

Thank you for your time.

Kiarna
