based on contents of a file?
Is there a way that I can create a fileset who's files are based on a
second file's contents?
I'm looking at a situation where I want to use the <copy> task to copy
a set of files. These files are listed in a text file, one filename
per line. So, I can't use a statically declared <fileset> as I don't
know the fileset's criteria.
Thanks

Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion of using an includesfile attribute for the
<fileset> element. Because the includesfile deals with "include
patterns", I originally dismissed it as a possible solution. However,
now that I think about it a little more, as long as the file contains
explicit information (and not patterns), this this should work.

use the includesfile attribute? If your files don't
all share the same base directory, consider using a
<files> collection (Ant 1.7).
