## net.sf.antcontrib.logic
Class TimestampSelector

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
          org.apache.tools.ant.Task
              net.sf.antcontrib.logic.TimestampSelector

    public class TimestampSelector

extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task

Task definition for the foreach task. The foreach task iterates over a list, a list of filesets, or both.

     Usage:

       Task declaration in the project:

         <taskdef name="latesttimestamp" classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.TimestampSelector" />

       Call Syntax:

         <timestampselector
                     [property="prop" | outputsetref="id"]
                     [count="num"]
                     [age="eldest|youngest"]
                     [pathSep=","]
                     [pathref="ref"] >
           <path>
              ...
           </path>
         </latesttimestamp>

       Attributes:
             outputsetref --> The reference of the output Path set which will contain the
                              files with the latest timestamps.
             property  --> The name of the property to set with file having the latest
                           timestamp.  If you specify the "count" attribute, you will get
                           the lastest N files.  These will be the absolute pathnames
             count     --> How many of the latest files do you wish to find
             pathSep   --> What to use as the path separator when using the "property"
                           attribute, in conjunction with the "count" attribute
             pathref   --> The reference of the path which is the input set of files.
