Re: [NAnt-users] Help recursively setting readonly attribute
I got it to work this way, that is, without the last * in the include elements. target name=removeReadOnly description=Remove read-only attribute of files attrib readonly=false fileset include name=C:\Some Folder\** / include name=C:\Other Folder\** / /fileset /attrib /target -Original Message- From: Wilson, Brian [mailto:brian.wil...@dhr.alabama.gov] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 9:29 AM To: Chris Fouts Subject: RE: Help recursively setting readonly attribute I tried all kinds of options, for the attrib tag and could not get it to work. I can use a fileset on other tags, like delete and copy, but it does not seem to work with attrib. The only other option I know of that may work is a foreach loop, that may work for the files as I know this works. However, I am not sure how to set the attribute for a folder.

Re: [NAnt-users] Help recursively setting readonly attribute
If you want to set the read only attribute, wouldn't you set readonly=true ???

Re: [NAnt-users] Help recursively setting readonly attribute
I did NOT want the files to be read only, hence false. I should've said I wanted to set the read only attribute to false. -chris From: Bob Archer [mailto:bob.arc...@amsi.com] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 9:59 AM To: Chris Fouts; nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: Help recursively setting readonly attribute If you want to set the read only attribute, wouldn't you set readonly=true ???
