--- Comment #3 from Colm Smyth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-05-14 06:16:50 PST --- On Linux, the following build file... <project name="deleteSlashTest"> <property name="dist" value="/tmp/\notexists" /> <delete includeEmptyDirs="true"> <fileset dir="${dist}"/> </delete> </project> ...produces two unexpected results with ant -debug: [...] Setting project property: dist -> /tmp/\notexists BUILD FAILED /tmp/build.xml:3: Directory does not exist:/tmp/notexists at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.handle(Delete.java:620) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.execute(Delete.java:566) [...] Notice that the backslash is in the property, but not in the output of the delete task. Can you modify this sample to suit your system and add the results of ant -debug? -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
