Maybe <outofdate> instead of  <uptodate> would work.
It's also a task from ant-contrib, it's a enhanced version of <uptodate>

files....
(please see my former post)....
Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Maybe you could try using tasks from ant-contrib project at sourceforge.
I was thinking of something like:
<for param="file">
<fileset dir="source" includes="*"/>
<if>
<uptodate .... />
<else>
<copy .../>
</else>
</if>
</for>

Hi,

Thanks for the snippet!
I found out that <var name="nameOfProperty" unset="true"/>


you can reset a property.

What I want to do is quite simple (although unachievable for me):

I would like to copy all files from a directory "source",

which are newer to those in "result", to an own directory "input".


So, source/a.xml needs to be compared to result/a.xml

source/b.xml to

result/b.xml and so on....

At the end, the "input" directory should just hold  the new files...

I don't know how to do this....

Thanks very much for any help....
