[NAnt-users] Filesets - include / exclude

[Parrish, Ken]

Question about how <fileset> and <patternset> are interpreted.

How does Nant reconcile potentially conflicting <include> and <exclude> tags.

During a copy operation, I would like to exclude all text (.txt) files except 
those explicitly listed.  How might I do this?  Let's say, I want to exclude 
all *.txt files EXCEPT a particular text file.  Is this the right syntax?

How will the following example be interpreted by Nant?

            <fileset basedir="${sourceBinDir}">
                  <include name="messagefile.txt" />
                  <exclude name="*.txt" />
            </fileset>


What if the order of <include> and <exclude> are interchanged?  The 
documentation doesn't make this very clear.

Anyone have any experience with this or similar situations?

Thanks,
