Title: Message

Thanks Richard,

Actually thanks for the suggestion. I'll check with my install build call to see if I can specify the output log file. If I can then yes it would be much easier....

Regards,

Tim.

Tim,

I may be off base here, but I think you can use a <foreach> task to iterate through items in a fileset - e.g.

<foreach item="File" property="filename">
    <in>
        <items>
            <include name="SomeFolder/**" />
        </items>
    </in>
    <do>
        

    </do>
</foreach>

One question though... For most of the tools I have worked with there is frequently a way you can specify the name of the output (via redirection, if nothing else). Are you sure you can't do the same thing? If that is possible in your case too it would probably make life *much* easier!

Regards,

Richard

Subject: [NAnt-users] Simply find file task or function

Hello,

This may be a very simple question, but I can not seem to find a function that can do this. I am automating the build of our product install and during the creation of the install it will generate a .txt file that contains the build log. I would like to open this log file up to check for errors, but I do not know the exact name of the file to open for read in. The install will create the txt file in the following format:

    9-18-2006 10-49-59 AM.txt

I need to be able to get the exact name so I figured that if I did a file find in the folder that these files are created then I can get the list of files and work from that. But I do not see any task that will give me the name of the files in a specified directory.

Since the file name contains the time it also makes it harder to find because I could generate the same name, but if the second's tick is just one ahead of mine then it will not find the file.

I just want something simple to get me the name of the file and then I can perform a copy of the file to a more generic name and then work with it from there.

So if there are any NAnt command/tasks that can get me this information I would appreciate knowing about it. Or any other method that would be easy to call from the NAnt project to get me the same results that would be good as well.

Thanks,
