Jeff et al I could never get delete dir= to work so I coded my own Regards, Martin- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Davidson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ant Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 6:10 PM Subject: RE: Delete Files and SubFolders
Brent, If you're using Ant 1.6.2 (I do not know which earlier distributions this same syntax may apply to) I'm pretty sure you can simply use: <delete dir="/bin/blocks" /> <delete dir="/conf" /> http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/delete.html (taken from http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html) I was using this approach (under Windows) to implement the "scorched earth" approach to checking out files for my master build, i.e. <delete dir=${my_checkout_dir}" /> Regards, ~Jeff D. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Bain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 27, 2004 15:06 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Delete Files and SubFolders Hello: I am trying to use the following code to delete everything under subfolders (including deleting the subfolders themselves). I can't seem to get it to work. I'm not sure if it's because I'm using a <path> or not. I'm using the antcontrib task to convert the path to a fileset (<pathtofileset>) -- my code looks like this: <path id="codeBase.pathList"> <fileset dir="${deploy.codeBase}"> <include name="bin/**" /> <include name="conf/**" /> </fileset> </path> <target name="All"> <property name="deploy.codeBase" value="c:/deploy/" /> <pathtofileset name="delBase.pathList.fileset" dir="${deploy.codeBase}" pathrefid="codeBase.pathList" /> <delete includeEmptyDirs="true"> <fileset refid="delBase.pathList.fileset" /> </delete> </target> This deletes the FILES but not the folders. My directory structure looks like: c:\ deploy bin blocks conf properties wwwroot images etc... What I'm trying to do is delete /bin/blocks/ and /conf/ completey. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it!
