I am looking to use <available/> to determine the presence/absence of ANY
files (i.e., one or more files) in a directory, as a condition of whether
to run a subsequent FTP target that would tranfer the files to a remote
server. I tried using wildcards in the 'file' attribute:
<target name="myPropertiesPresent">
<available property="myProperties.present" file="c:\properties\*.*">
</target>
<target name="ftpToServer" depends="myPropertiesPresent" if
="myProperties.present">
<ftp...</ftp>
</target>
But the log says:
myPropertiesPresent:
[available] Unable to find file c:\properties\*.* to set property
myProperties.present
Does anyone know a way of using <available/> to accomplish this? If not,
what other Ant task might accomplish the equivalent?
