The ISL supports a variety of file manipulation functions.
<fileset> Specify a set of files for use with other tags
<fileset dir="directory to look at"
pattern="regular expression pattern to match files"
file="the single file to select"
>
The fileset tag can be used in 2 ways. The first it does not execute anything.
Rather, it is used by other tags to specify a group of files that is used by some other tag.
<fileset dir="the directory to look at" pattern="file pattern to match"/>
Or:
<fileset file="somefile"/>
The second way is to iterate on a set of files. The contained isl tags are executed with the following properties set:
"file" The full path to the file, e.g., /data/test/grid1.nc
"filenosuffix" The full path to the file without the suffix, e.g., /data/test/grid1
"fileprefix" The same as filenosuffix
"filetail" The file name, e.g., grid1.nc
"filetailnosuffix" The file name with no suffix, e.g., grid1
In the example below the script iterates on all of the .nc files.
The file name is printed out and then the bundle is loaded. The setfiles tag is used to set the file name within the bundle.
<isl offscreen="false">
<fileset pattern=".*\.nc">
<echo message="File: ${file}"/>
<bundle file="${islpath}/test.xidv">
<!-- This sets the data file in the bundle to the ${file} -->
<setfiles datasource=".*" file="${file}"/>
</bundle>
<pause seconds="20"/>
</fileset>
</isl>
multiplefiles.isl
<mkdir> Make a directory
<mkdir file="The directory to create"
>
The mkdir tag creates a directory specified by the file attribute:
<mkdir file="somedirectory"/>
There is no error if the directory already exists.
<rename> Rename a file
<rename from="The file to rename"
to="The new file name"
>
