Not that I am aware of.
AFAIK there is no <count><fileset/></count>.
Ant 1.7 will include "Resources" [1] (e.g. <fileset> will be one) and then
there will be a
<resourcecount> task.
ATM I get the idea of a counting selector ...
When processing a fileset the underlying DirectoryScanner asks all nested
selectors (like
<modified/>) if they would select that file. So the selector is asked for each
file. A new
selector could simply increase a number (stored in a property file). You could
write that
selector via <scriptselector> [2] - oh, <scriptselector> is introduced with
1.7, so you have
to write that in Java.
But that would only count the number of selected files - <copy> does a
filecheck for its own
(like many other tasks). And you dont get that info.
Well, when using <copy overwrite="true"/> you switch off exactly that
filecheck, and maybe with
<uptodate> you could get some of the idea behind overwrite="false".
Maybe could extend <copy> by extending oata.taskdefs.Copy [3] and overriding
one method (it logs exactly that info to STDOUT):
protected void doFileOperations() {
writeToPropFile( fileCopyMap.size() );
super.doFileOperations();
}
protected void writeToPropFile(int numberOfCopiedFiles) {
// write to propfile
}
Mmmh ... seeing that .... maybe a <record> around the <copy> would do that ...
I´ll do a little test ...
Yep - and tested with Ant 1.6.3 and 1.7 :-)

How to get the number of copied files into a property?

<project>
<!-- prepare the target directory -->
<mkdir dir="to"/>
<!-- start logging to file -->
<record name="nr.properties" action="start"/>
<!-- Let 'copy' do its job -->
<copy todir="to">
<fileset dir="from"/>
</copy>
<!-- stop writing to log file -->
<record name="nr.properties" action="stop"/>
<!-- convert the log message to a property-file -->
<replaceregexp file="nr.properties" match=".*Copying (.*) file.*"
replace="nr=\1"/>
<!-- read that file, handle zero-files-copied special case (empty file
created) -->
<property file="nr.properties"/>
<property name="nr" value="0"/>
<!-- use that property -->
<echo message="Copied files: ${nr}"/>
</project>
