Re: How to set "property" within p4 modificationset???

What good timing! I've got what seems like a similar problem: based on
what immediate subdirectory a file in a modification set is in, I would
like to pass the name of that subdirectory to an Ant target as a
property.


So for example, abstracted a little, I have this:

<project name="MyProject" >
<bootstrappers>

<p4bootstrapper view="//depot/topleveldirectory..." />
</bootstrappers>
<modificationset>
<p4 view="//depot/topleveldirectory/level1/..." />
</modificationset>


So if there's a change to a file in
="//depot/topleveldirectory/level1/fred/..."

I want to pass the directory name fred to my Ant target as a property:

<schedule>
<ant target="junit">
<property name="test.name" value=<named of directory containing changed
file should be here>/>
</ant>
</schedule>

</project>

I'm trying to avoid having separate projects for each subdirectory, as
that would quickly become a maintenance nightmare.
Any ideas on how this might be accomplished?
Thanks!
