Hm, still doesn't work:

(For simplicity, just deleting files in
the current working directory, 
the one where build.xml lives in:)

One step backwards:
  If a have a file exmpl~ in that current working directory
    <delete file="exmpl~" defaultexcludes="no"/>
  and 
    <delete file="exmpl~"/>
  both work fine (deleting the one file)

However
  (after recreating the file exmpl~)
  neither one of those does the job:
    <delete file="*~" defaultexcludes="no"/>
    <delete file="./*~" defaultexcludes="no"/>
    <delete file="**/*~" defaultexcludes="no"/>


Sorry. Any more advice?. Thanks.

Andreas

I believe the delete task uses the 'default excludes' which includes things
like emacs and vi backup files.

What you need to do is:
        <delete file="**/*~" defaultexcludes="no"/>

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, how to delete tilde-(emacs)-backup-files in a clean
target?
trying all kinds aof patterns didn't work so far:
   <delete file="**/*~"/>
   <delete file="**/*.*~"/>
   etc.

the equivalent (Gnu-)Makefile commands are:
clean:
        rm -f *~

(I am new to this mailing list, and I haven't found an ant-users list)

Thanks in advance.

Andreas
