Please show us, what you want to do! If you just want to delete everything under a certain dir it should work with "**" in the fileset.

März 2010 15:41 An: 'Ant Users List' Betreff: delete task question I am trying to use the <delete> task to delete files AND directories. I have turned on the includeemptydirs and am explicitly specifying a nested <fileset> instead of relying on the implicit one created by <delete> tag itself. My question is about includeemptydirs. It doesn't seem to work properly. Depending on what order the fileset iterates through the files/directories, you will get different behavior. In order for everything to work, it would need to iterate from the leaf on up through its parents so that a parent that WILL be empty is deleted instead of being blocked because it still has a child directory which WILL be deleted later on during the iteration. Is <delete> smart enough to iterate from the leaves on up? If not, what is? --- Shawn Castrianni ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
