Hi Diane,
Thanks for the response. However, I tried you example out and, though it seems like it *should* work the way you have it, there is something wrong. Here is what I am using: <fileset dir="${src.dir}" id="src.sample.fs"> <present targetdir="${src.dir}"> <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" /> </present> </fileset> <fileset dir="${build.dir}" id="build.sample.fs"> <present targetdir="${build.dir}"> <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" /> </present> </fileset> <pathconvert pathsep="," property="src.sample.fs.copy" refid="src.sample.fs"> <map from="${src.dir}${file.separator}sample." to=""/> </pathconvert> <property name="src.delete.includes" value="${src.sample.fs.copy}"/> <echo message="${src.delete.includes}"/> <!-- <delete> <fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="${src.delete.includes}"/> </delete>--> In this case, the echo only produces this: [echo] D:\myclasses\repository\Barracuda_2002-09-19\Barracuda\src\sample.build.properties My expectation was that it should have been "build.properties", not "sample.build.properties" that resulted from the <map> element. <pathconvert pathsep="," property="build.sample.fs.copy" refid="build.sample.fs"> <map from="${src.dir}${file.separator}sample." to=""/> </pathconvert> <property name="build.delete.includes" value="${build.sample.fs.copy}"/> <echo message="${build.delete.includes}"/> <!-- <delete> <fileset dir="${build.dir}" includes="${build.delete.includes}"/> </delete>--> In this case, I have 5 sample.* files. However, the echo only produces the last 3 of them. The first two are skipped. Plus, we have the same problem as the first case with returning sample.* files rather than the expected *. [echo] D:\myclasses\repository\Barracuda_2002-09-19\Barracuda\WEB-INF\sample.log4j.xml, D:\myclasses\repository\Barracuda_2002-09-19\Barracuda\WEB-INF\sample.objectrepository.xml, D:\myclasses\repository\Barracuda_2002-09-19\Barracuda\WEB-INF\sample.web.xml Like I said, it seems to me that the example you provided makes sense and *should* work, but something seems to be a bit off here. Note: I am using Ant-1.5.1-beta1. Is this a bug that I'm running into here?
