Custom "compile" loop

I have a custom compiler that I need to run on a set of files in a directory. This is a straightforward process where aaaaa.src ---> aaaaa.out. I have found the examples using a FOR task to process *.src --> *.out, and I'm familiar with the upToDate task to check if srcDate after outDate. But I can't find any examples where these both are used together. The upToDate task doesn't seem to work in a loop. I'm looking for an example of how to compile 1 src out of 100 if only that one src file has changed (basically exactly what javac does on .java-->.class compile... but I need to run an Exec task on the src instead of javac). Can someone give me advice on how to code a for loop and checking upToDate on each file? Thx. Jerry
