RE: Delete the contents of a directory but not the directory itself

And to me. I assumed that when using delete with no dir attribute and a nested fileset would not include the base dir. After all, if one uses a fileset in the context of a copy this is what happens. Take this build as proof:

Re: Delete the contents of a directory but not the directory itself

Explicitly saying includes="**/*" literally means only any file or directory below the basedir of the fileset. Note that we welcome any suggestions regarding where in the manual you might have hoped to find this file scanning information. This thread picked my interest, because I didn't know th

Don't know how I missed that. It does feel wrong somehow. Why should a this includes pattern mean that the base directory is excluded? I don't see how one could deduce this behaviour. Can you? Thanks all. Miles > -Original Message- > From: Peter Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent

It is in the manual for : deletes all files and subdirectories of build, without build itself. Peter On 1/12/07, Matt Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --- "Daffin, Miles (IT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear All, > > I want to delete everything in a base directory but > *not* the

Also as the lock is on the hashtable, no new locks are added as the iteration will use the same lock. On 1/12/07, Matt Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --- Steve Loughran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Matt Benson wrote: > > I agree, Peter. However, the patch I am currently > > testing adds sy

Dear All, I want to delete everything in a base directory but *not* the base dir itself. (The base dir *must not be deleted* because it is a mount point, not a dir that can be created/deleted in a normal manner.) If I do this: all files are deleted *but* it leaves empty dirs behind. I wan
