DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45284] New: allow for regular expressions in
FileSet include and exclude
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45284
Summary: allow for regular expressions in FileSet include and
exclude
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7.0
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: patricia_shan8@hotmail.com
In fileset includes and excludes, it would be helpful to be able to use regular
expressions, not just wild cards.
My immediate problem is that we have previous directories which are dates, eg
/20080624/, containing archived files, which I want to exclude from my fileset.
Also, in current directories, we have obsolete files which include the date in
the name. eg., a common pattern for this is : abc.jarOLD20080624
I can't excluded files using *old* because "old" is part of legitimate names.
I ended up renaming the folders consisting of a date by adding "BAK" to the
end; I was already excluding this pattern ("**/*bak/"
But I don't have control over what other people name files and folders, so I
have to spend time checking that I'm not copying and jarring stuff I don't want
that's been added since the last time, w/o excluding stuff I do want.
Being able to test for a filename using a regular expression (eg., containing 8
consecutive numerals) would be very useful.

for some reason we have a selector for files containing a regexp but none for
those whose name matches a regexp, strange.
Yes, this would be a reasonable enhancement, but I'd make it a selector and
would extend filename.
