I think this might help: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/resourcecount.html
Here's a snippet I just tested: <resourcecount property="count.jars"> <fileset dir="${jar.dir}"> <include name="*.jar"/> </fileset> </resourcecount> <echo message="There are ${count.jars} jarfiles in ${jar.dir}"/> It's much cleaner than attempting to write a script.
