| <h2><a name="echo">Basename</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p> |
| Task to determine the basename of a specified file, optionally minus a |
| specified suffix. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When this task executes, it will set the specified property to the |
| value of the last path element of the specified file. If <code>file</code> is a |
| directory, the basename will be the last directory element. If |
| <code>file</code> is a full-path, relative-path, or simple filename, |
| the basename will be the simple file name, without any directory elements. |
| </p> |
