Re: fileset: exlude a dir not to be touched by ant?

[Rolf Schumacher]

Sorry not to include the ant source - and: no, dir=C:\ and exclude name="System*"
the error message remains

<project name="clean hard disk" default="clean"> <target name="clean">
<delete>
<fileset dir="C:\" defaultexcludes="no">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
<include name="**/*.*~"/>
<include name="**/*.bak"/>
<exclude name="System*"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
</project>

By the way: I'm never sure as I have to escape the backslash or not,
but in this case I tried both.

The solution has to be simple, any advice?

As you are not givin the full context, the answer is difficult.
Does the hint that name="foo" expects foo to be a path relative to the
dir attribute of the fileset and *not* an absolute path help?
