RE: reverse glob mapper pattern?

Hi Bruce, Well, I stand corrected. What you are saying is right. However, you had it right before. I *don't* want to delete the sample.* files. They are the templates for the generated files. I must have been doing something weird. I swear that I tried the glob mapper in pretty much the

RE: reverse glob mapper pattern?

Oh right -- I forgot you can do and's and or's and all that with the selectors stuff... just been away too long :( Jacob, you should give that a try -- if it works, it'll streamline things considerably (sorry I didn't think of it sooner... oh well, at least you know more Ant now, right? :) Diane

Re: reverse glob mapper pattern?

Hi Bruce, You should probably go back and check out this whole thread. I had already tried what you suggest below. All that will do is select all files to delete. See Diane's responses to see why that can't work. Also see the solution I just posted. It really is the only way to do this, c

For the record, here is how I implemented the whole creation and deletion of * files which have a corresponding sample.* file (see attached text file) Thanks to Diane Holt, Dominique Devienne, and Stefan Bodewig for all the help! Jake

Re[2]: reverse glob mapper pattern?

Hello Diane, I've got things working with one more issue to solve. Stefan Bodewig pointed out that if I set the properties that have my directory locations using the "location" attribute rather than "value", Ant will turn it into a nice absolute path just like the fileset produces. Now the wo

Hello Stefan, I think what Dominique means is that there should be a delete capability equivalent to the copy capability. for example... This copy... Should be equivalent to this de

Turns out that after some more clear thought and debugging that the issue lies in the fact that the paths provided by the fileset are cleaner than the ones defined by hand. For instance, here are my variables used below: So the physical result of these paths on my machine are: src.dir

Hi Diane, Thanks for the response. However, I tried you example out and, though it seems like it *should* work the way you have it, there is something wrong. Here is what I am using:
