ANT: Howto process each file in fileset

[swebb99]

Hi,

Is it possible to does some processing on each file in a filelist ?

What I want to do is perform checksum on each file in a directory and
compare the results with associated md5 files in another directory (or
do they always have to be in the same directory?). I can't figure out
how I can do this as checksum appears to compare all checksums of all
files in a directory and sets a property based on all files. I want to
process one at a time. I need some way of looping round each file and
basically doing some extra processing of the checksum doesn't match.

Cheers

Steve

It is certainly possible, only that there is not a core task that will
do it. Writing your own Ant task is quite simple.
I wrote one for JTiger - the 2 relevant source files are:
