Are you really sure that is a bug? I think the word "filename" in the documentation is ambiguous, but when it says "No directories will be matched by this directive" it does not mean that the matching is performed only on the basename part. The examples in "A Windows Example FileSet" are also written to assume that WildFile compares the whole name. The current behaviour is very useful because it allows files in selected directories to be matched, without accidentally matching subdirectories (as Wild will do). __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
