RE: [Nant-users] Deleting files?

[Noel Gifford]

Gert,
 
I'd like a parameter added to the delete task (or maybe the fileset task)
specifying whether directories should be deleted.
When I used the <fileset> task I expected only the files to be removed.
 
Bob,
 
The script below in target "use_foreach" will delete all files below
${DelDir} and leave the directories in place.
I tried to get it to work using target "use_fileset" but the directories
always got deleted.
 
 
<project name="TestDelete" default="Default">

    <property name="DelDir" value="C:\Projects\TestDel" />

    <target name="use_foreach" >
        <foreach item="File" property="filename">
            <in>
                <items>
                    <includes name="${DelDir}\**" />
                </items>
            </in>
            <do>
                <delete file="${filename}" />
            </do>
        </foreach>
    </target>


<!--
    <target name="use_fileset" >
        <delete>
            <fileset>
                <includes name="${DelDir}\**" />
            </fileset>
        </delete>
    </target>
-->

</project>


 
Thanks,
Noel

Ok,
 
What the trick to deleting all files from directory and still leaving the
directory intact.
 
I have obviously tried everything except for the correct thing...
 
I basically want the equivalent of:
 
Del c:\directory\*.* /s
 
So, directory still exists after the delete. This is so I can delete the
previous build from the staging servers virtual directory before moving the
new build there.
 
Thanks in advance!
