It you use Include name="**" that will (should) include all files in all directories. BOb > -Original Message- > From: Parrish, Ken [mailto:kparr...@gomez.com] > Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 5:56 PM > To: Bob Archer; Brass Tilde; nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [NAnt-u

Re: [NAnt-users] Delete files but preserve directory tree

Bob, Yes, '*' matches all files, but will also match all directory names and the net result is to delete the entire directory tree. What I want to do is to recursively delete all the files in a directory tree WITHOUT deleting any of the directories themselves. In addition, it would be extremely

Re: [NAnt-users] External reference to a

Gert, Yes, the works exactly as desired. I can define a (in this case with a dozen entries) and reuse it throughout my set of scripts. Thanks. Ken From: Gert Driesen [mailto:gert.drie...@telenet.be] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 4:18 PM To: Parrish, Ken; nant-users@lists.sourceforge.n

Re: [NAnt-users] Delete files but preserve directory tree

Rather than using *.* use * ... that will match any filename with or without an extension. I guess I don't understand why you can just exclude your config file names. If they are in a directory the directory won't be deleted. BOb > -Original Message- > From: Parrish, Ken [mailto:kparr.

[NAnt-users] External reference to a

I am attempting to use the feature of a 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 'b

Re: [NAnt-users] Delete files but preserve directory tree

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 would greatly simplify file operations which need to be applied to one or the other, yet still allow f

IF this a consistent directory tree? If so, just exclude the directories from the delete. If not I think you should be able to use a foreach to loop over a fileset and delete each individual files. But, I don't know how good the performance on this will be. BOb _

[NAnt-users] Delete files but preserve directory tree

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
