Ken,
You should actually be using a <patternset> in combination with a fileset:

Hope this helps,

Subject: [NAnt-users] External reference to a <fileset>
I am attempting to use the feature of a <fileset> which allows for an
external reference to a pre-defined fileset. This would be most useful in
my application in cases where a complicated include/exclude filter needs to
be applied to several file and directory operations.
However, the behavior of the 'basedir' attribute is not what I would expect:
<fileset id="webSiteFileSet">
<include name="*.*" />
<exclude name="*.config" />
<exclude name="database*.xml" />
</fileset>
<target name="PurgeSite" >
<echo message=" PurgeSite = ${PurgeSite_dir}" />
<delete>
<fileset refid="webSiteFileSet" basedir="${PurgeSite_dir}"
/>
</delete>
</target>
In this case, I would expect the 'basedir' attribute that I supplied in the
<delete> task to take effect. However, only if the 'basedir' attribute is
specified in the <fileset> definition, will it be properly applied by the
<delete> task.
Is this by design? Is this a bug or oversight? Is there a mechanism for
causing the <delete> task to behave as I am attempting to use it in the
above case?
Thanks,
Ken Parrish
