RE: [Nant-users] delete all files and folders in a directory

[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,
 
I sent this back on April 5th.  Guess it didn't get through.
 
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

I guess I should clarify this:
 
I still can't seem to delete all files and folders in a directory...
 
WITHOUT deleting that directory.

I still can't seem to delete all files and folders in a directory... what is
the correct pattern. Here is what I have:
 
<delete failonerror="true" verbose="false">
            <fileset>
                        <includes
name="\\qaevolution2003\wwwroot\Geac.QA\**" />
                        <excludes
name="\\qaevolution2003\wwwroot\Geac.QA\dev.config" />
            </fileset>
</delete>
