Re: Deleting only the contents of a directory

[Ivan Ivanov]

Thanks Peter,

Actually I finally guessed it and I did it late at
home. I think also that, if it was hard for me it
might be hard for someone else to, so I am submitting
a patch to the docs of the <delete> task. The patch is
done against latest CVS HEAD revision and adds at the
bottom of the delete.html the snippet

  <delete includeemptydirs="true">
    <fileset dir="build" includes="**/*"/>
  </delete>

deletes all files and subdirectories of build, without
build itself.

Thank you very much again for your help.

Regards Ivan

P.S. I hope the patch will be accepted, so that I do
not memorize the above snippet. I remember I wrote
some docs about <selector>s and sent it, but it never
appeared in the ant official docs.
