Help With Condition Task

[Rez P]

Hi
 
I need help for what I need to do and not sure how to do it.  I have bunch of property files with different extensions, file1.{qa,staging,prod.uk,prod.us,prod.nz} and file2.{qa,staging,prod} and file3.{qa,staging,prod}.
 
I need to have the copy task copy the correct respective environmental file to certain directories before I do my compile.
 
Here's a sample of my copy
 
target init
<copy file="properties/file1.${ext1}" todir="some/dir" />
<copy file="properties/file2.${ext1}" todir="some/dir" />
<copy file="properties/file3.${ext1}" todir="some/dir" />
 
 
c:\project>ant -Dext1=qa init
 
since all 3 files have qa & staging in common, it runs successfully but not sure how I can declare ext1 to be 2 things at the same time, meaning "ant -Dext1=prod.uk init" will fail because the other 2 files have no such extensions and adversely "ant -Dext1=prod init" will fail because not all files have prod extension.
 
I would like to try something like
 
c:\project>ant -Dext1=prod.uk -Dext2=prod init
 
and maybe set up a condition in the ant file in target init if ext1 or ext2 equal certain value do this or do this other thing.  I am reading the help page on Apache Ant and I don't see any thorough or detailed examples and the page doesn't really cover much of a description.
 
Thanks
 
Rez

An idea is not to reference the files instead of "including" them:

file ./includes.qa:
---8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<----
file1.qa
file2.qa
file3.qa
---8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<----


file ./includes.staging
---8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<----
file*.staging
---8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<-------8-<----


file ./includes...



<property name="selected" value="qa" description="Default is doing QA"/>
<copy todir="some/dir">
  <fileset dir="properties" includesfile="includes.${selected}"/>
</copy>

$ant -Dselected=qa

Thanks for your reply and help Jan, I'm still not clear.

 

All 3 files have to be copied to 3 different subfolders.

 

So file1.qa, file2.qa, and file3.qa or with .staging extension would be fine as long as I'm building for those 2 environment.  But when it comes to production I have to copy, say, file1.prod.uk (sometimes prod.us, etc) and file2.prod and file3.prod to different folders for the production build, I don't see how ${selected} could possess 2 values simutaneously (prod and prod.uk) in your example.  Am I missing something or did I minunderstand?  Please

 

<property name="selected" value="qa" description="Default is doing QA"/>
<copy todir="some/dir">
<fileset dir="properties" includesfile="includes.${selected}"/>
</copy>

$ant -Dselected=qa
