Apache Ant Basename Task

This task is used to get the basename of a specified file.

It sets specified property to the value of the last path element of the specified file. If the executed file is a directory, the basename will be the last directory element. It returns basename as a simple file name if the file is a full-path or relative-path without any directory elements.
