Stefan,
Thank you for your response on this. You stated:
" This would match any directory that end in .default - but not the
files
contained within them."
I actually need to pick up the name of the directory, not the files, but
your information was helpful.
My specific task is that I need to copy one file to a randomly generated
directory. The installation process creates a randomly generated
directory name. I have to identify that randomly generated name and then
copy the one file to that directory.
I currently have this code: (I am trying to copy prefs.js to the random
directory *.default.)
<copy todir="${firefox.dir}">
<dirset dir="${firefox.dir}">
<include name="**/*.default"/>
</dirset>
<fileset dir="${apps.dir}/Firefox">
<include name="prefs.js"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
Is this the right way to go about this?

This would match any directory that end in .default - but not the files
contained within them.
<fileset dir="${firefox.dir}">
<include name="**/*.default/**"/>
</fileset>
is probably what you want.
