If you need to read both files to compare them, you might as well delete the destination and copy the source, quite often this will be faster. Unless you have some preserve in target that is. And as Stefan mentions, it would have been much better to enhance sync with a plugeable strategy for file comparison than starting from scratch. Especially since the pieces are already in place very likely, like by reusing the <different> selector. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
