delete task in Ant
I have a file(s) that get created in the build directory that I want to
delete, so I used the delete task
<delete>
<fileset dir=${buildDir}>
<include name=*Test.log.* />
</fileset>
</delete>
The files that get created are:
.#Test.log.1.23
.#Test.log.1.24
Why does the ant task not recognize these files? Is there something wrong
with the pattern that I have given it?
Thank you for your help
Ajay Dharna

That is what I get for making a snap answer... ;^)
Alexey is absolutely correct.
The multiple patterns will work, just for the record. Just not the
better solution.

By default ANT ignores some files (CVS, backups,...). To make ANT see
such files add defaultexcludes="false" into <fileset> element (see
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/fileset.html ). Default excludes
list: http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html#defaultexcludes .

The leading "." in the filenames (".#Test.log.1.23") is what is
preventing this pattern from matching. That looks vaguely like an
editor backup file or diff/merge tool backup file pattern.
If you're trying to delete files that are named more conventionally
(Test.log.1.23), you'll probably need two includes in the fileset, like:
<delete>
<fileset dir=${buildDir}>
<include name="*Test.log.*" />
<include name=".#Test.log.*" />
</fileset>
</delete>
Don't forget the quotes around the attribute value (name="") - I'm
surprised you didn't get an error with the pattern as you have it below.
