Thanks... I ended up doing this:
<property name="syncreport.exists" value="false" />
<foreach item="File" property="syncreport.find">
<in>
<items basedir="${PublishDir}/DbPackagers">
<include name="SyncReport*.txt"
/>
</items>
</in>
<do>
<echo message="Syncreport file name is:
${syncreport.find}" />
<property name="syncreport.exists" value="true"
/>
<property name="syncreport"
value="${syncreport.find}" />
</do>
</foreach>
Which works fine since there will only ever be 1 or 0 files that match the
pattern. Although I did learn something new, that the property on the foreach
loop is scoped to the foreach loop. I had thought all properties were global.
Oh well, live and learn.
I never think to look at the contrib document for functions, only tasks. I'll
have to remember that one.

You could use a fileset and then use the
fileset::has-files(http://nantcontrib.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/functions/fileset.has-files.html
) function in NAntContrib.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Does a file matching a pattern exist...
Hi All,
What is the easiest was to check if a file exists if I don't have the file
name. I have the pattern that the file will match. The only think I can think
to do is to use a foreach with the pattern and put the file name into a
property.
Is there an easier way that is cleaner?
Thanks,
BOb
