ANT task to move and rename, files and folders, recursively


I have have a folder structure like so:

/PROJECT/PROJECT.html

/PROJECT/PROJECT_readme.txt

/PROJECT/PROJECT.css

/PROJECT/PROJECT.js

/PROJECT/abc_PROJECT_def.txt

/PROJECT/something.js

/PROJECT/other.txt

/PROJECT/somefolder/PROJECT_other.txt

I want to use ANT to copy the complete directory and also change the PROJECT string in the files or folder to a specified value e.g. mysuperproject, so the result folder structure is so :

/mysuperproject/mysuperproject.html

/mysuperproject/mysuperproject_readme.txt

/mysuperproject/mysuperproject.css

/mysuperproject/mysuperproject.js

/mysuperproject/abc_mysuperproject_def.txt

/mysuperproject/something.js

/mysuperproject/other.txt

/mysuperproject/somefolder/mysuperproject_other.txt

Is there a easy way to do that in ANT ?


Solution

  • The Move task should suit you. Read the linked docs carefully.

    It's a core task, so you can use it without downloading of configuring anything.
