    <p>I'm having several outputs of a program that I need to compare with a "expected" ouput folder. But my problem is that the output files always have a different filename. </p> <p>How can I rename all files in a folder to the same filenames in another folder. Here the example - the expected file structure (can of course change):</p> <pre><code>expected/folder1/file1.txt expected/folder1/file2.txt expected/folder2/file1.txt expected/folder3/file1.txt </code></pre> <p>And my output looks like this (number of files and position is always equal):</p> <pre><code>result/folder1/fileOtherName1.txt result/folder1/fileOtherName2.txt result/folder2/fileOtherName1.txt result/folder3/fileOtherName1.txt </code></pre> <p>I tried using ANT (because I know that), but was stuck, because I cannot select a file by the index (sorted alphabetically).</p> <p>Here my pseudocode in ANT (but don't know how to continue):</p> <pre><code>&lt;target name="foo"&gt; &lt;foreach&gt; &lt;fileset dir="result" casesensitive="yes"&gt; &lt;include name="**/*.txt"/&gt; &lt;/fileset&gt; &lt;antcall target="rename"&gt; &lt;/antcall&gt; &lt;/foreach&gt; &lt;/target&gt; &lt;target name="rename"&gt; &lt;!-- how can I access another fileset and take the correct file? --&gt; &lt;!-- Here I got stuck --&gt; &lt;echo message="foreach.file is ${foreach.file}" /&gt; &lt;echo message="foreach.dir is ${foreach.dir}" /&gt; &lt;echo message="foreach.name.ext is ${foreach.name.ext}" /&gt; &lt;echo message="foreach.name is ${foreach.name}" /&gt; &lt;/target&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks for any help, it must not be in <strong>ANT</strong> only - a <strong>BASH</strong> script or similar could do the job too.</p>

    1. COHow can you tell which result filename should match which expected filename? Do you just remove a fixed portion? Is there some other thing I'm missing?

    2. COIt depends on the alphabetic order of the files in each folder. So "fileOtherName1" should be renamed to file1 and so on. 1st file in result renamed to 1st filename in expected.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
