ant [flags] FROM PATTERN TO [FROM PATTERN TO]

###flags: -h print usage -v print version number -loop=n, -loop n loop n times, sleep 5 second per loop. default n = 0 -time=m, -time m run per time duration. like '5s' '1h'. default m = 0s -cron=c, -cron c run with crontab. like "*/5 * * * * ?". default c = "none" priority: -cron > -time > -loop > default mode[-loop=1]

###FROM: ant can watch the FROM directory(if the dir is exists) if there is a file name match the PATTERN then move the file to the TO directory. keyword $ present last FROM.

###PATTERN: it must be a regexp. like "H.* ", so "Hello World!" will be match. keyword $ present last PATTERN.

###TO: if file is matched, then it will move to the TO directory(if it is not exists, ant will create it, otherwise ant will rewrite it). keyword $ present last TO.

###Tips: some special keywords in FROM PATTERN TO can be replaced when ant run.
