By default ANT ignores some files (CVS, backups,...). To make ANT see
such files add defaultexcludes="false" into <fileset> element (see
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html ). Default excludes
list: http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html#defaultexcludes .

The leading "." in the filenames (".#Test.log.1.23") is what is
preventing this pattern from matching. That looks vaguely like an
editor backup file or diff/merge tool backup file pattern.
If you're trying to delete files that are named more conventionally
(Test.log.1.23), you'll probably need two includes in the fileset, like:
<delete>
<fileset dir=${buildDir}>
<include name="*Test.log.*" />
<include name=".#Test.log.*" />
</fileset>
</delete>
Don't forget the quotes around the attribute value (name="") - I'm
surprised you didn't get an error with the pattern as you have it below.

I have a file(s) that get created in the build directory that I want to
delete, so I used the delete task
<delete>
<fileset dir=${buildDir}>
<include name=*Test.log.* />
</fileset>
</delete>
The files that get created are:
.#Test.log.1.23
.#Test.log.1.24
Why does the ant task not recognize these files? Is there something
wrong
with the pattern that I have given it?
Thank you for your help
