Re[2]: Question about copying files

[Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>]

Hello Dominique,

Is there a technique works with Ant-1.4.1 that will do this?  If so, I
imagine it is more verbose, but I'd like to do this *and* keep
Ant-1.4.1 compatibility.

Any suggestions?

Jake

DD>         <mapper type="glob" from="sample.*" to="*" />

DD> In other words, if I have the following files in a directory:

DD>   sample.foo2 (changed, foo2 exists)
DD>   sample.foo3 (new, foo3 does not exist)

DD> only foo3 should be copied.

DD> Suggestions?
