public class Concat
extends Task
implements ResourceCollection

This class contains the 'concat' task, used to concatenate a series of files into a single stream. The destination of this stream may be the system console, or a file. The following is a sample invocation:

 <concat destfile="${build.dir}/index.xml"
   append="false">

   <fileset dir="${xml.root.dir}"
     includes="*.xml" />

 </concat>

Constructor Detail

Concat

public Concat()

Construct a new Concat task.

Method Detail

reset

public void reset()

Reset state to default.

setDestfile

public void setDestfile(java.io.File destinationFile)

Sets the destination file, or uses the console if not specified.

Parameters:

destinationFile - the destination file

setDest

public void setDest(Resource dest)

Set the resource to write to.

Parameters:

dest - the Resource to write to.

Since:

Ant 1.8

setAppend

public void setAppend(boolean append)

Sets the behavior when the destination exists. If set to true the task will append the stream data an Appendable resource; otherwise existing content will be overwritten. Defaults to false.

Parameters:

append - if true append output.

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)

Sets the character encoding

Parameters:

encoding - the encoding of the input stream and unless outputencoding is set, the outputstream.

setOutputEncoding

public void setOutputEncoding(java.lang.String outputEncoding)

Sets the character encoding for outputting

Parameters:

outputEncoding - the encoding for the output file

Since:

Ant 1.6

setForce

public void setForce(boolean forceOverwrite)

Deprecated. use #setOverwrite instead

Force overwrite existing destination file

Parameters:

forceOverwrite - if true always overwrite, otherwise only overwrite if the output file is older any of the input files.

Since:

Ant 1.6

setOverwrite

public void setOverwrite(boolean forceOverwrite)

Force overwrite existing destination file

Parameters:

forceOverwrite - if true always overwrite, otherwise only overwrite if the output file is older any of the input files.

Since:

Ant 1.8.2

setForceReadOnly

public void setForceReadOnly(boolean f)

Whether read-only destinations will be overwritten.

Defaults to false

Parameters:

f - boolean

Since:

Ant 1.8.2

setIgnoreEmpty

public void setIgnoreEmpty(boolean ignoreEmpty)

Sets the behavior when no source resource files are available. If set to false the destination file will always be created. Defaults to true.

Parameters:

ignoreEmpty - if false honour destinationfile creation.

Since:

Ant 1.8.0

setResourceName

public void setResourceName(java.lang.String resourceName)

Set the name that will be reported by the exposed Resource.

Parameters:

resourceName - to set

Since:

Ant 1.8.3

createPath

public Path createPath()

Path of files to concatenate.

Returns:

the path used for concatenating

Since:
