Michael - Your code looks much like mine...
public class Deletefiles extends MatchingTask {
private File delDir;
public void setDeldir(String src) {
delDir = project.resolveFile(src);
}
public void execute() throws BuildException {
if (delDir == null) {
throw new BuildException("deldir attribute must be set!");
}
if (!delDir.exists()) {
throw new BuildException("deldir does not exist!");
}
DirectoryScanner ds = super.getDirectoryScanner(delDir);
String[] files = ds.getIncludedFiles();
if (files.length > 0) {
project.log("Deleting " + files.length + " files");
for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
File f = new File(delDir, files[i]);
if (f.exists()) {
if (f.isDirectory()) {
project.log("Directory: " + f.getAbsolutePath() +
" cannot be removed with deletefiles. Use Deltree
instead.");
} else {
project.log("Deleting: " + f.getAbsolutePath());
f.delete();
}
}
}
}
}
