Won't a fileset take care of this for you?
<delete>
<fileset dir="${nokia.sdk.dir}">
<include name="**/DBS_*#*-"/>
<fileset/>
</delete>
Take a look at the manpage of the <delete> task: <http://
ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/delete.html> and see how they use a
fileset in the examples.
Also take a look at the concept of a fileset: <http://ant.apache.org/
manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html> because filesets can be used to
specify files in many different tasks.
If you are using exec tasks to execute a shell script or command, you
may want to dig through the Ant manual and see if there is a way to
use another Ant task. About 50% of the exec tasks found in most build
scripts can probably be eliminated by simply using pure Ant features.
That makes build scripts more flexible and less platform specific.

Hello,
I have a file that I want to periodically delete from system. I
don't know
it's exact name but I do know it's parent directory and pattern for
it's
name. The pattern for it's name is 'DBS_*#*-' and let's just say
that it's
location is somewhere under "${nokia.sdk.dir}". how do I find and
delete all
files matching this pattern? If I was using windows port of unix
find.exe I
would do the following;
C:\project\>find
C:/Nokia/Devices/S60_3rd_MIDP_SDK/bin/epoc32/winscw/c/private -type
f -name
DBS_*#*- -exec rm -f {} ;
however, my local environment has gnu32 unix port of find util on it
clientes, which is where it will ulitimately run, does not, so
sticking that
command in build.xml file will not work. I don't think any of
filters work
with delete task. any ideas?
Thanks
