Given two directories A and B how do I use Ant to delete all files in B
that also exist in A?
ie
If A contains the files: one.file, two.file, three.file
and B contains the files: one.file, three.file, fish.file
I want to delete one.file and three.file from B.
I haven't been able to work out how to achieve this and haven't found
anything like this in the mailing list archive, so any ideas would be
great.
I tried this:
<delete dir="B">
<fileset dir="A">
<include name="*"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
But this deleted all the files in both A and B. :-(
Then I tried this
<delete dir="B">
<fileset dir="A">
<include name="*"/>
</fileset>
<mapper type="flatten"/>
</delete>
But delete doesn't support mappers.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Bevan.
