rm -f *~

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, how to delete tilde-(emacs)-backup-files in a clean
target?
trying all kinds aof patterns didn't work so far:
   <delete file="**/*~"/>
   <delete file="**/*.*~"/>
   etc.

the equivalent (Gnu-)Makefile commands are:
clean:
	rm -f *~

(I am new to this mailing list, and I haven't found an ant-users list) 

Thanks in advance.

Andreas

**/*~ is one of the defaultexcludes patterns, you will have to say
defaultexcludes="no" for this to work.

I believe the delete task uses the 'default excludes' which includes things
like emacs and vi backup files.

What you need to do is:
	<delete file="**/*~" defaultexcludes="no"/>
