my first post was = /* ... i want to use the DirectoryScanner in an own task. i want to exclude subdirectories and only including the files in the root of basedir. DirectoryScanner ds = fs.getDirectoryScanner(getProject()); String[] includes = {"*.*"}; String[] excludes = {"**\\**"}; ds.setIncludes(includes); ds.setExcludes(excludes); String[] names = ds.getIncludedFiles(); What are the correct include / exclude patterns to include ownly the files in root of basedir but exclude all subdirectories and files in subdirectories ? ... */ i want to use it in a selfwritten task not in an ant(xml)script Question = is it possible to use DirecoryScanner standalone or only combined with a type selector ? i believe it's easier to roll my own solution instead of using DirectoryScanner combined with a selector.
