Hi Bruce,
Well, I stand corrected. What you are saying is right. However, you had
it right before. I *don't* want to delete the sample.* files. They are
the templates for the generated files. I must have been doing something
weird. I swear that I tried the glob mapper in pretty much the same way
you describe and, for some reason, it was deleting all files in the
${src.dir} and all directories underneath. I must have had something
something a bit off. I really don't know how that happened??? It made me
run off on a wild goose chase and end up with the verbose result that I
posted as an attachment earlier.
Anyway, the following works....
<delete>
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<exclude name="sample.*" />
<present targetdir="${src.dir}">
<mapper type="glob" from="*" to="sample.*" />
</present>
</fileset>
</delete>
Thanks for making me look at that again. Man, I really can't figure out
what I did wrong before?
