HI,

I'm having a directory which consists of n+ number of files and i want
to iterate through the directory and want to pass only n files to
MY_TASK .
So it's like retrieve n files and pass to MY_TASK again retrieve next
n files and pass (in loop).

How can i implement in ant ?

A flat footed way to do in is to write a little utility that moves N
files to a collecting directory. Then let ANT take all the files in
the collecting directory.

You could even use a fancier rule that combines size and count.
