Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I am not able to give relative path for Capital folder in filset. This is not working.. <fileset dir="**/Capital/" includers="*.txt"/> i tried various patterns for relative path.. because the Capital folder will reside in any subdirectory. So I dont know the specific path to give. Hence providing the relative path. But its not getting resolved.. Is there any way to do that? Thanks Scot P.
