Hi,
Many thanks for the mail.
However in the verison of ant (1.6.5) I am using <fileset> was not allowed
to be an nested property of <pathconvert>
so what I did was declared an refid for fileset and added that to
pathconvert:
<project>
<target name="clean">
<property name="pattern" value="utpal*"/>
<fileset dir="." id="file.name" includes="${pattern}"/>
<pathconvert property="available" setonempty="false" refid="file.name"/>
</target>
<target name="doc" depends="clean" unless="available">
<echo>folder exists</echo>
</target>
</project>
Many thanks for your suggestion. It worked.
Regards,
Utpal
