Problem with

[Leif Hanack <le...@t-systems.com>]

Hello,

i have some problems with the dirname task. When calling the script below i
receive the following.
copyDate is a batch file that call my ant-script. The source dir is set to
the base dir of my script, but in this case i want to have a empty value for
source.dir. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance, Leif

c:\System\Utility>copyDate someDir

c:\System\Utility>ant -f
C:\System\Utility\antTasks\copy.xml -Dsource=someDir
Buildfile: C:\System\Utility\antTasks\copy.xml

init:

copy:
     [echo] source     : someDir
     [echo] source dir : C:\System\Utility\antTasks
     [echo] source name: someDir
     [echo] target: C:\System\Utility\antTasks/20030402_0149_someDir

copy-FILE:

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/System/Utility/antTasks/copy.xml:42: Warning: Could not find file

tem\Utility\antTasks\someDir to copy.



Here is the script:
