Yes, filesets act as an <and> selector and this is intended. This is a well documented feature (http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html - scroll down to the Selectors header halfway down the page). This is default behavior. If you want a different selector (such as <or> or <not>) then you can specify it within your fileset.

Because of the code below in DirectoryScanner: protected boolean isSelected(String name, File file) { if (selectors != null) { for (int i = 0; i < selectors.length; i++) { if (!selectors[i].isSelected(basedir, name, file)) { return false; } } } return true; } For a file to be selected, all top-level selectors must be true, and thus this behaves as an implicit <and>. Your file can't have 3 different names, can it!? That's why you need to wrap them into an <or> to get the equivalent of an sequence of <include> (you don't need to further wrap the <or> into a <selector>). Why use <filename> instead of <include>? Because a set of or'd <filename> can be inverted with a <not> for example, which you can't do with a patternset, and also because combined with other selectors you can do selections which you can't do with <patternset>+selectors. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************** This message, including any attachments, contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
