Thanks this is working a treat;
>>Martin, I suspect your option would work as well, but its nice to keep it
purely in ANT until I *have* to get more complex :).
<target name="look.for.conflict">
<fileset dir="${conflict.dir}" includes="**/*.*" id="conflict.files" >
<present targetdir="${patch.dir}/${cvspackage}/${patch.name}"/>
</fileset>
<pathconvert targetos="unix" pathsep="" property="conflict.files"
refid="conflict.files" />
<echo message="conflict.files:${conflict.files}" level="info"/>
<condition property="conflict.files.exist">
<not>
<or>
<equals arg1="${conflict.files}" arg2=""/>
</or>
</not>
</condition>
</target>
