This is probably a quick question. I'd like to run the YUI pressor so that, instead of overwriting all of the javascript files in the input directory, it dumps the output files into a subdirectory called min. I would like to do something like

java -jar yuipressor-2.4.7.jar -o *.js .\min\*.js c:\MyJavascriptDirectory\*.*

but instead it just overwrites the existing files with the minified files. Does anyone know the correct syntax to acplish this?

Thanks!

I'm not sure of the correct syntax to do that, but someone has made a modification so that you can set up your output directory as follows

java -jar yuipressor.jar --output-dir /some/folder/for/pressed/js *js

This allows you to have a source folder and a pressed folder. As opposed to having source and a bunch of -min.js files in the same folder.

You can download the mod at the bottom of the page here http://yuilibrary./projects/yuipressor/ticket/2528131

java -jar yuipressor.jar -o '.js$:-min.js' *.js will minify all .js files and save them as -min.js then you could just move all those files: mkdir min; mv *-min.js min/.
