|

| 12 | <h3>Description</h3>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>Moves a file to a new file or directory, or sets of files to
|
|---|
| 14 | a new directory. By default, the
|
|---|
| 15 | destination file is overwritten if it already exists. When <var>overwrite</var> is
|
|---|
| 16 | turned off, then files are only moved if the source file is newer than
|
|---|
| 17 | the destination file, or when the destination file does not exist.</p>
|

| 18 | <p><a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a>s are used to select sets of files
|

| 19 | to move to the <var>todir</var> directory.</p>

| 118 | <h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
|
|---|
| 119 | <h4>mapper</h4>
|
|---|
| 120 | <p>You can define file name transformations by using a nested <a
|
|---|
| 121 | href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html">mapper</a> element. The default mapper used by
|
|---|
| 122 | <code><copy></code> is the <a
|
|---|
| 123 | href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity</a>.</p>
|
|---|
| 124 | <h4>filterchain</h4>
|
|---|
| 125 | <p>The Move task supports nested <a href="../CoreTypes/filterchain.html">
|
|---|
| 126 | FilterChain</a>s.</p>
|
|---|
| 127 |
|
|---|
| 128 | <p>
|
|---|
| 129 | If <filterset> and <filterchain> elements are used inside the
|
|---|
| 130 | same <move> task, all <filterchain> elements are processed first
|
|---|
| 131 | followed by <filterset> elements.
