| <h2>Native2Ascii</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Description:</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| Converts files from native encodings to ASCII with escaped Unicode. |
| A common usage is to convert source files maintained in a native |
| operating system encoding, to ASCII prior to compilation. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Files in the directory <em>src</em> |
| are converted from a native encoding to ASCII. |
| By default, all files in the directory are converted. |
| However, conversion may be limited to selected files using |
| <em>includes</em> and <em>excludes</em> attributes. |
| For more information on file matching patterns, |
| see the section on |
| <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>. |
| If no <em>encoding</em> is specified, |
| the default encoding for the JVM is used. |
| If <em>ext</em> is specified, then output files are renamed |
| to use it as a new extension. |
| More sophisticated file name translations can be achieved using a nested |
| <em><mapper></em> element. By default an |
| <a href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity mapper</a> will be used. |
| If <em>dest</em> and <em>src</em> point to the same directory, |
| the <em>ext</em> attribute or a nested <em><mapper></em> |
| is required. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| This task forms an implicit <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">File Set</a>, |
| and supports all attributes of <code><fileset></code> |
| (<code>dir</code> becomes <code>src</code>) as well as |
| nested <code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code>, |
| and <code><patternset></code> elements. |
| </p> |

| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| |
| <pre> |
| <native2ascii encoding="EUCJIS" src="srcdir" dest="srcdir" |
| includes="**/*.eucjis" ext=".java" /> |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| Converts all files in the directory <em>srcdir</em> |
| ending in <code>.eucjis</code> from the EUCJIS encoding to ASCII |
| and renames them to end in <code>.java</code>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| <native2ascii encoding='EUCJIS" src="native/japanese" dest="src" |
| includes="**/*.java /> |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| Converts all the files ending in <code>.java</code> |
| in the directory <em>native/japanese</em> to ASCII, |
| placing the results in the directory <em>src</em>. |
| The names of the files remain the same. |
