I am trying to write a Nant task which, given the pathname of a
directory, will recursively remove all the files at all levels in the
directory tree, but will NOT delete any of the directories themselves.
This is needed so that we can 'purge' a deployment web site, but
preserve the directory tree and configuration files, thus preserving
various file system and web server permissions and attributes assigned
to various nodes in the directory tree.
I was hoping to do this with a single <delete> task, but have been
unsuccessful in my attempts to create a <fileset> element which behaves
properly. I tried using <include name="**" /> but that causes all the
subdirectory nodes to be deleted as well. For example:
<delete>
<fileset basedir="${PurgeDeploymentDirectory_dir}">
<include name="**" />
</fileset>
</delete>
Does anyone have any ideas how to approach this problem? Should I write
this as a task that recursive walks the directory tree?
Thanks,
Ken Parrish
