Nant Users,
Thanks for your feedback on this. I've replied to this list a couple of
time, but my posting keep getting bounced.
The addition of a filesOnly and/or directoriesOnly attribute to a
<fileset> would greatly simplify file operations which need to be
applied to one or the other, yet still allow for the power and
flexibility of the <fileset> element.
Below it what I devised. It works well except that the *.* file filter
excludes files that might not have an extension. Not a huge problem in
the Windows world that I employ, but still a limitation.
However, the filesOnly parameter to the <fileset> as described above
would likely allow this task to reduce to a single <delete> element.
Thanks,

Would the effort of adding a "filesOnly" attribute to the fileset
object be worth the time and effort?
