Cool ;-) And congratulations ;-)
Are you running on *nix? I would guess so, because of your
from="${web.src.dir}/". I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you have to be
careful with the path separator you use. To be really cross-platform, you
should do:
<property name="web.src.dir" location="..." />
<fileset id="myfiles" dir="${web.src.dir}/images">
<include name="*.gif" />
<include name="*.jpg" />
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="," property="files" refid="myfiles">
<map from="${web.src.dir}${file.separator}" to="" />
</pathconvert>
<delete>
<fileset dir="${web.deploy.dir}" includes="${files}" />
</delete>
Note the use of <property location="" /> for the property used in <map
from=""/> and the use of ${file.separator} instead of /.
But if you are on Windows, then I'm wrong. --DD

Success.
For those who are interested, here is the final code:
<fileset id="myfiles" dir="${web.src.dir}/images">
<include name="*.gif" />
<include name="*.jpg" />
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="," property="files" refid="myfiles">
<map from="${web.src.dir}/" to="" />
</pathconvert>
<delete>
<fileset dir="${web.deploy.dir}" includes="${files}" />
</delete>

True... Sorry I missed that. Either one can work something out using
<mapper>s (not my specialty ;-), or with
<pathconvert property="files" refid="myfiles">
<mapper .../>
</pathconvert>
then
<fileset dir="..." includes="${files}" />
Please look into it first, and if you're stuck I might try it. Or somebody
knows a better alternative. --DD

But this deletes the files from the ${web.src.dir} directory not the
${web.deploy.dir}.

Use Ids:
<fileset id="myfiles"
dir="${web.src.dir}/images">
<include name="*.gif" />
<include name="*.jpg" />
</fileset>
<delete quiet="true">
<fileset refid="myfiles" />
</delete>

Subject: Patternsets and Filesets
I have been looking over patternsets anf filesets and am not quite sure how
to do what I want to do.
What I want to do is:
1. Get a listing of all files in directory A.
2. Save the list into a property or equivalent.
3. Use the list to select which files to delete from directory B.
Step 1 is easy:
<fileset dir="${web.src.dir}/images">
<include name="*.gif" />
<include name="*.jpg" />
</fileset>
For Step 2 I don't know how to save this result into a variable.
And for step 3 I would like to:
<delete>
<fileset dir="${web.deploy.dir}/images">
<[Saved File Listing from Step 2]>
</fileset>
</delete>
So if I have 3 files in ${web.src.dir} I would like to delete the same three
files from ${web.deploy.dir} without touching the other files in
${web.deploy.dir}.
Is it possible to use patternsets for this or are patternsets used for
saving the include and exclude patterns only and not for saving the results
of the task.
If not patternsets then how?
