Using on FileSets

[Alexander Ziller <al...@highqsoft.de>]

Hey there

Im desperatly trying to get an intersection of 2 directories but it doesn't
work.

The situation:
--------------

Dir1 contains a set of JARs: a.jar b.jar c.jar d.jar e.jar
Dir2 contains a subset of the JARs in Dir1: b.jar e.jar
I want to get the negative intersection (the stuff from Dir1 that's NOT in
Dir2) and figured
I tried this with an intersect and then try to invert the result somehow...

My attempt in ant:

<copy todir="${root.dir}/intersect">
	<intersect>
		<fileset dir="Dir1">
			<include name="*.jar"/>
		</fileset>
		<fileset dir="Dri2">
			<include name="*.jar"/>
		</fileset>
	<intersect>
</copy>


Problem:
Nothing get copied :-(

Thanks for your help.

Alex

The files in Dir1 and Dir2 are different files, at least they have
different paths.  intersect will retain only those resources that are
common in all resource collections and it will not look at the contents
but at the (absolute) names, so when you start from two different
directories (ignoring cases where Dir2 is a subdirectory of Dir1 or the
presence of symlinks) the intersection will always be empty.

I think you want to try the present selector.

likely is something like

<copy todir="${root.dir}/intersect">
  <fileset dir="Dir1">
    <include name="*.jar"/>
    <present targetdir="Dri2"/>
  </fileset>
</copy>
