You will have to check for the directory's existence before adding the offending fileset to the path. I assume your expectation of pathconvert results for a fileset with no matching files (including when the directory does not exist) is "". Example: <project default="foo"> <path id="base"> <fileset dir="a" /> <fileset dir="b" /> <fileset dir="c" /> </path> <path id="p" refid="base" /> <target name="check"> <available file="z" type="dir" property="found" /> </target> <target name="modify" if="found"> <path id="p"> <path refid="base" /> <fileset dir="z" /> </path> </target> <target name="foo" depends="check,modify"> <pathconvert property="result" refid="p" pathsep="${line.separator}" /> <echo>$${result}=${result}</echo> </target> </project> HTH, Matt __________________________________ Yahoo!
