[NAnt-users] Excluding files with a specific path element

[Michael Frederick]

Hello,

 

I thought I was following the examples pretty well, but I can't seem to get a small NAnt build file to enumerate all files in a folder tree *except* ones that have a specific path element.  I have a folder tree that I know has a folder named "_sgbak" in it and I want the names of all files in the tree *except* for files that have "_sgbak" somewhere in their path.

 

Here is a sample list of files and structure:

 

X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\GuiConsole.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\GuiConsoleContext.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\GuiConsoleMC.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\GuiToolConsoleContext.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\Provisioning.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\Readme.rtf
X:\Brands\XYZ\Docs\WAFS.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\Help Files\GuiConsole.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\Help Files\GuiConsoleContext.chm
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\Script Files\Branding.h
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\_sgbak\CaymanISBitmap1.bmp.2006-09-08.11-56-10.7260
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\_sgbak\Setup.bmp.2006-09-08.11-56-10.7885
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\Branding.xml
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\CaymanISBitmap1.bmp
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\CaymanISBitmap2.bmp
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\license.txt
X:\Brands\XYZ\Installation\InstallShield\Setup.bmp

 

So I need to get all files *except* # 11 and 12 above.  The examples for <fileset> task says:

 

"**/test/**               Matches all files that have a test element in their path, including test as a filename. "

 

so i tried:

 

    <items>
        <include name="X:\Brands\XYZ\**"/>
        <exclude name="**\_sgbak\**"/>
    </items>

 

but that still gives me all the files.  What am I doing wrong here?  TIA!

 

Using:  NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.2344.0; rc4; 6/2/2006)
