There are three steps in one <copy> statements: 1. select all files for the copy operation (<fileset>,<modified>) - select all files which suffix is ".vcp.bak" - check by their absolute pathname a stored MD5-hashvalue - if the new computed hashvalue is not equal to the stored --> that file goes to step 2 2. copy files to destdir 3. filtering
Are you sure, that files are copied? What does -verbose / -debug say? Jan > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: David Resnick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 23.
