What other way is there to know if a file is 'newer' other then comparing file timestamps? perhaps u also want to know if there is a delta between files? Ant has many selectors for refining how to 'select' a file. Perhaps u are looking for something a bit more procedural, I would suggest checking out the <outofdate/> task contained in the useful ant-contrib lib http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html otherwise what u want is achievable, as prev mentioned with selectors (which creates the fileset that can be used by other tasks), and if u need to print it out use pathconvert. gl, Jim Fuller
