So,
I have it close. See my example below.
The only issue is that we currently use a globally defined patternset
and reference it when we retrieve a remote file list. I can't figure out
how to replace the hardcoded selectors in the example with a reference
to a globally defined patternset, or something similar. Too bad the
restrict resource selector doesn't allow for that.
<project>
<property name="remote-basedir" value="C:\Users\a042740"/>
<sshexec host="ei0234vwin"
username="${username}"
password="${password}"
trust="true"
output="all-files.txt"
command="dir ${remote-basedir} /b /s">
</sshexec>
<pathconvert property="filtered.files" pathsep="${line.separator}">
<restrict
xmlns:rsel="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant.types.resources.selectors">
<resourcelist>
<file file="all-files.txt"/>
</resourcelist>
<or>
<rsel:name name="${remote-basedir}\Favorites\*"/>
<rsel:name name="${remote-basedir}\Documents\*"/>
</or>
</restrict>
</pathconvert>
<echo message="${filtered.files}" file="filter-files.txt"/>
</project>
