## org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs
Class Concat

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
          org.apache.tools.ant.Task
              org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Concat

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable, ResourceCollection

    public class Concat

extends Task
implements ResourceCollection

This class contains the 'concat' task, used to concatenate a series of files into a single stream. The destination of this stream may be the system console, or a file. The following is a sample invocation:

     <concat destfile="${build.dir}/index.xml"
       append="false">

       <fileset dir="${xml.root.dir}"
         includes="*.xml" />

     </concat>

Constructor Detail

### Concat

    public Concat()

  Construct a new Concat task.

Method Detail

### reset

    public void reset()

  Reset state to default.

### setDestfile

    public void setDestfile(java.io.File destinationFile)

  Sets the destination file, or uses the console if not specified.

  Parameters:
    `destinationFile` - the destination file

### setDest

    public void setDest(Resource dest)

  Set the resource to write to.

  Parameters:
    `dest` - the Resource to write to.
  Since:
    Ant 1.8

### setAppend

    public void setAppend(boolean append)

  Sets the behavior when the destination exists. If set to `true` the task will append the stream data an `Appendable` resource; otherwise existing content will be overwritten. Defaults to `false`.

  Parameters:
    `append` - if true append output.

### setEncoding

    public void setEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)

  Sets the character encoding

  Parameters:
    `encoding` - the encoding of the input stream and unless outputencoding is set, the outputstream.

### setOutputEncoding

    public void setOutputEncoding(java.lang.String outputEncoding)

  Sets the character encoding for outputting

  Parameters:
    `outputEncoding` - the encoding for the output file
  Since:
    Ant 1.6

### setForce

    public void setForce(boolean force)

  Force overwrite existing destination file

  Parameters:
    `force` - if true always overwrite, otherwise only overwrite if the output file is older any of the input files.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6

### setIgnoreEmpty

    public void setIgnoreEmpty(boolean ignoreEmpty)

  Sets the behavior when no source resource files are available. If set to `false` the destination file will always be created. Defaults to `true`.

  Parameters:
    `ignoreEmpty` - if false honour destinationfile creation.
  Since:
    Ant 1.8.0

### createPath

    public Path createPath()

  Path of files to concatenate.

  Returns:
    the path used for concatenating
  Since:
    Ant 1.6

### addFileset

    public void addFileset(FileSet set)

  Set of files to concatenate.

  Parameters:
    `set` - the set of files

### addFilelist

    Ant 1.6

### setBinary

    public void setBinary(boolean binary)

  Set the binary attribute. If true, concat will concatenate the files byte for byte. This mode does not allow any filtering or other modifications to the input streams. The default value is false.
